Porsche is underlining its commitment to offer an electric sports car in the future with a new research programme. In a bid to combine greater efficiency with even lower fuel consumption and emissions, Porsche is working consistently not only on the ongoing development of hybrid concepts already in production, but also using three research cars with all-electric drive based on the Porsche Boxster. The test process will start in early 2011 in Stuttgart where three electric Boxsters will provide an important preliminary insight to new electric drive components and battery systems for all-electric vehicle drive. This field test is intended to also provide further findings on the infrastructure required for electromobility, user behaviour and the demands made of future products. Michael Macht, the president and chief executive officer of Porsche AG, sees this contribution made by Porsche as absolutely essential. “We will definitely be offering an electric sports car in future. But such a concept only makes sense if it offers performance and a cruising range comparable to that of a sports car today.”
