Nope. You re wrong. This isn t an electric Porsche 356a. This is a Watt Electric Vehicle Company (WEVC) Coupe.
It s a sub-1,000kg, rear-wheel drive, fixed-head sports car based on WEVC s own EV platform. It has a 40kWh battery and a mid-mounted 160bhp electric motor.
The 0-62mph time is just over five seconds, while it has a predicted range of 230 miles.
The first batch of Launch Edition models will run to 21 cars. Each is priced from £81,250 with customer deliveries starting in early 2022.
Cars will be road-worthy and come with new registration plates.
Watt s under the skin?
WEVC reckons it s carved itself out a new (and incredibly small) niche with this coupe - the two-seater, rear-wheel drive, mid-motor-mounted, electrically powered, and of course, retro-inspired market.
