Electric Cayman

30 September 2008

So you we are finally getting diesel Cayenne’s (better late than never) but how about an electric Cayman? Sound interesting, but even more so if it will be produced by the performance Porsche creators Ruf.

Alios Ruf has gone all green and is taking time out from making outrageously powerful Posrche super cars to make an electric Porsche sports car. The German tuner is reportedly working on an all-electric Cayman that would go head to head with the Tesla Roadster.

It is expected to have a little less overall power than the Tesla (150kW compared to 185kW) but will have considerably more torque (650Nm versus 375Nm).  A lithium-ion battery pack of undisclosed output will provide power to the motor and the car has a projected top speed of 125mph. Rumour has it the Ruf could have multiple gears instead of just one and it could demand a higher price than the £60k Tesla.
