Porsche is reportedly developing a platform
dedicated to electric sports cars and supercars that will be shared with
Lamborghini and Audi. The new EV-specific architecture will be the third one VW
Group creates and will go by the name SPE, Automotive News reports. The first indication of the new EV supercar
platform came as a footnote in a capital markets presentation by VW Group last
November.
Aside from Porsche’s high-performance EVs, the new
SPE platform could be used in future models like the replacement of the
electric Audi R8 e-tron as well as in a possible new Lamborghini. After all,
the Italian supercar maker did unveil the Terzo Millennio concept recently, as
an electric supercar from the future.
A senior VW executive confirmed to AutoNews that
Porsche is indeed developing an EV platform for two-door sports cars and
supercars, with a spokesman saying that it’s too early to provide further
details.
Information on the planned electric sports cars and
supercars is really limited at the moment, with the first SPE-based models
expected to hit the roads after 2025.
