eRUF Stormster – not what people usually have in mind when you talk about EVs

The big green monster you see above is the eRUF Stormster grun (German for Green), a Porsche Cayenne powered by a Siemens electric motor and lithium ion batteries from Li-Tec. You can get it either with the “grun” body above or a standard Cayenne body.

It’s not going to be scorchingly fast though – because of the massive 2,670kg weight, the 270kW (367hp) electric motor can only take the Stormster up to 100km/h in 10 seconds. That’s just quite sad – for a car to start feeling reasonably fast it has to breach the 8 second mark. The baseline Cayenne with the 3.6 litre V6 can do the sprint in 7.5 seconds. I guess that’s the price to pay for zero emissions.

Other battery and motor related vital stats include a 200km range and a top speed of 150km/h.

    Looks like the battery duration and distance of travel is the main agenda for EVs vehicle. Paul, if a petrol based car FC depends on the way we are pressing the throttle, but how about EVs vehicle?? Does EVs still travelling the same distance as claimed by manufacturer? For example this green monster, let say we drive 150kmh and maintain the speed, can it get exactly 200km distance of travel??
