Can you tell us more Erik?


Well-established Porsche tuner RUF, a company that has been building cars for more than 60 years, is now poised to launch its own Tesla rival in the form of an all-electric Porsche.

RUF plans to unveil an all-electric version of its Cayman 3400K model (pictured) as early as next month, although the company is yet to announce production schedules or estimated prices. According to Auto Motor und Sport, the car will come with a 204hp (150kW) electric motor with 480lb-ft (650Nm) of instantaneous torque. Power will come from an array of lithium-ion batteries, with charging capable from an ordinary household power outlet.

After reading R&T's review, I am confused...

What is the point?

I would assume this car would cost well over $100K and the "hoped for" stats are:

0-60mph: under 7 sec
150mph+ top speed
150-200 mile range
zero back seats
zero luggage space.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the Tesla meets all those stats and destroys the hoped for 0-60mph time?!?

Am I wrong to be dissapointed in RUF?
