eRuf Stormster grün – click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nA little more than a year ago, the Porsche<\/a> tuning specialist at Ruf unveiled their first electric car, the 911-based eRuf<\/a>. That first iteration was definitely not ready for production, but the crew at Ruf are not known for taking half measures. A few months after the eRuf was shown to the world, the second iteration with more power and lighter batteries appeared as the Greenster at the Geneva Motor Show<\/a>. Ruf has said it plans to build that car in limited numbers. <\/p>\n

The 911 is pretty small, and as a result, packaging enough batteries to get a useful range is not a trivial matter. The latest eRuf variant is the Stormster, a plug-in electric Cayenne<\/a>, so finding room for the cells doesn’t figure to be as problematic. The Stormster is uses the same 270 kW Siemens motor that was in the Greenster along with Li-Tec lithium ion batteries. We don’t yet know how many examples they hope to build, where they hope to sell it, or how much it will cost. Critically, we also don’t know how far it will go on a charge. The note we got from Ruf does say it will be available in the standard Cayenne body or the special wide-body that Ruf produces, the “Stormster grün.” <\/em>Either way, you can check it out in our high-res gallery below and analyze the press release after the jump.

\nUpdate<\/strong>: Ruf spokesman Marc Pfeifer let us know that the Stormster will start production late in 2010 and that the range is aproximately 120 miles per charge. Ruf has not set a price for it yet, but don’t count on this to compete with the Nissan Leaf at the low end.
