Introducing The eRUF Stormster Electric SUV


eRUF Stormster All-Electric SUV




This particular vehicle looks very promising. It satisfies America's craving for an SUV and also provides alternate energy propulsion. With more than 100 miles of range, it should satisfy the overwhelming majority of commuters. Let's hope that it makes it to production post haste.

RUF Automobile GmbH unveiled the Stormster, an electric SUV based on the Porsche Cayenne, for the European Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, (COP 15). The Stormster is driven by a Siemens electric motor, with 270 kW (367 bhp) as in the eRUF sports car. The lithium-ion battery pack is supplied by Li-Tec Battery GmbH.

The total weight is 2,670 kg which makes it capable of reaching 100 km/h in 10 seconds. The top speed is 150 km/h, being able to reach a range of 200 km at one charge.

RUF introduced the first electric sports car (eRUF) from Germany in October 2008. During the Geneva Motor Show, in March 2009, RUF further presented an evolution of the first eRUF, widely known as “Greenster”.
