Porsche has eyes on all-electric future

Porsche AG is building a lineup of environmentally friendly cars as part of its future-oriented sustainable development strategy, said its top executive during the Beijing auto show.

"Sustainability for us is a very important point, especially for our engines. Today, we have three plug-in hybrids that we are using in three different model ranges - the Panamera, the Cayenne, and also our high-end sports car, the 918," said Oliver Blume, chairman of the German premium sports car manufacturer.

He said the future lies in electric cars. "In the near future, for us it is plug-in technology. But the real challenge is the full electric car of the future you can drive like a Porsche."
