I have seen two 996 engines for sale recently, both from cars being converted to electric. Maybe this is a trend.

i dunno why u guys are hating on it, i think it's a pretty good idea. i mean 1,200 ft-lbs of torque sounds good to me.

Heaven forbid RUF from building an electric 911. Oh wait, they're working on that right now.

electric
Electric cars can (and will) be faster than gasoline cars given the right technology. Electric doesnt always mean ecnobox.
Electric cars get near maximum power and torque as soon as you hit the pedal. The power band is virtually flat across the board.

I would miss the exhaust sound... though the torque might balance that out.

Electric vehicles... they're so hot right now. And none are hotter at the moment than the Tesla Roadster, which looks positively sublime in Very Orange paint. Even Porsche, the longtime purveyor of some of the world's best sporting hardware, is interested in the little electron powered machine. In fact, rumor has it that the German automaker is much more impressed with Silicon Valley's first ever sports car than it is with the lithium ion-powered E-Ruf electric 911. Is it too slow; too heavy; too expensive? Nobody knows for sure outside of Stuttgart's engineering offices, but we do know that the German automaker has placed an order for a Tesla Roadster of their very own for closer scrutiny. We'd imagine that the EV's dissection could offer some enlightening revelations to Porsche, rumored to be hard at work on an electric sportscar of its very own. Considering Porsche's recent history with other automaker's wares, this could get very interesting.
