You're probably asking what RUF is thinking, developing an electric sports car, but remember way back when you asked the same thing about that small startup in Silicon Valley. RUF might be onto something.

RUF has partnered with German-based Tier One supplier, Siemens, to create the world's first electrically driven 997 Porsche 911 aptly named the RUF eRuf 'Greenster.' They've managed to create a complete electric replacement to the standard 911's 3.8 liter boxer-6 engine and it's packed with butt-loads of torque, 700 lb-ft of it to be exact. The 362 horsepower doesn't hurt either, but that's not what you'll feel when you mash your foot on the throttle.
