Porsche is on a fast track to ditch the guttural flat six for whisper-quiet electron power. Prodded by tightening emissions regulations globally, the Stuttgart sports car maker is remaking its lineup for the electric era.
Porsche aims for more than 80 percent of its new-vehicle sales globally to be fully electric by 2030.
"We are pushing ahead with our electric offensive: By the middle of the decade, we want to offer our 718 midengine sports car exclusively in all-electric form," Porsche CEO Oliver Blume said this summer.
