just a couple of articles i have come across that caught my eye:

1. porsche unveiled the "rolling laboratory" that is the first fully electric porsche, the boxster-e. 100 miles between charges, 240 hp provided by twin VW-sourced electric motors. 0-60 in 5.3 sec.

2. porsche ceo recently stated that they plan on building porsches in china and/or the us soon and owner VW needs to build another 5 or 6 plants worldwide to be able to supply the 10M-11M vehicles VW plans to sell in the near future, including an extra 10k 911s (last year they sold 20k).

3. RUF got in the e-game with 10 recently developed all electric 911 prototypes. includes models with a single 240hp electric motor and standard gearbox with a range of around 93 miles, top speed of 136mph. they are also working on another "beefier" model with twin engines and a dual speed gearbox producing around 355hp and a 120 mile range, 5 second 0-60 time and top speed of around 136 mph. expected to be unveiled at the geneva auto show in march.
