How unpredictable the automobile world is.
When talk of new alternative fuel vehicles emerge, you expect to see that latest city car concept, not a sports car relegated to times when engines were serious, petrol-revving stuff.
And yet Porsche has come out and shown a virtuous example of zero pollution levels with an extension of its range and an electric powered spider, developed by its tuning agency Ruf.
Ruf has dedicated itself to turning the Cayman into an electric sports car, likely to create comparison with the Tesla.
The Cayman will probably have less power – around 150 Kw instead of 185, but with a whole lot more torque (around 650Nm compared to 375).
The battle lines are likely to be drawn around price as the Ruf will probably be placed at a higher price than the Tesla Roadster.
Other technical details haven’t been revealed, but we can’t wait to see this vehicle out.
