RUF Automobile GmbH, located in the small
Bavarian town of Pfaffenhausen, the manufacturer of high performance
automobiles, introduced the first electric sports car (eRUF) from
Germany in October 2008. During
the Geneva Motor Show, in March 2009, RUF presented an evolution of the
first eRUF, widely known as "Greenster".
The eRUF family continues to grow with the unveiling of the "Stormster",
the very first electrically driven SUV based on the Porsche Cayenne.
The Stormster is driven by a Siemens
electric motor, with 270 kW (367 bhp) as in the eRUF sports car. The
total weight is 2,670 kg which makes it capable of reaching 100 km/h in
only 10 seconds. The top speed is 150 km/h, being able to reach a range
of 200 km at one charge.
The lithium ion accumulators are
supplied by Li-Tec Battery GmbH. Li-Tec is the first manufacturer of
lithium ion battery cells in Europe, designed for the automobile
industry using ceramic storage technology.
Hankook developed the winter tires for
the all wheel drive Stormster which is fitted to RUF classic 5 spoke
lightweight wheels. Tires of size 295/30 R 22 allow the best possible
road grip. |
