It says it's a concept(ish) car. I thought the first thing at first, but it's still cool technology. Doesn't mean they'll mass produce it, but it does mean that Porsche is still trying to stay cutting edge.

Yep, the whole CAFE joke in general and those who have subscribed since introduction in '75.

Now specifically regarding Obama, take your pick, they're all correct:

Why politics in a thread about Porsche's desire to do an electric prototype Boxster?

Europe is way ahead of us on the mileage issue because of their gas prices. Spent two week there this summer and the cars are smaller, diesel, have manual transmissions, not to mention the tons of scooters everywhere.

It would be foolish for Porsche (or any other carmaker) not to explore electric technology. The Boxster is the most logical for conversion IMHO.
