This is a strange one.

Go read and see what you think.

A ‘very quiet’ 911 with it’s Porsche badges covered up by Batman stickers and a big square lump on the front bonnet with a yellow ‘flash’ label.

To my mind, that lump could just be a mounting space for some testing equipment and the ‘very quiet’ claims just wishful thinking … but you never know.

That Green is truly hideous. Not sure about a hybrid 911 :o On one hand it could be quite quick & on the other hand it just seems wrong :?

The RUF Greenster is really nice, it’s going into limited production later this year or early next.

The more electric cars the better.... less people using petrol, more chance it will all last longer for me.........!!!

So long as I never have to drive an electric 911 as the noise is half the fun.
