RUF Automobile GmbH took part in the E-Miglia 2011 with two eRUF automobiles.
The e-miglia is a rally for electric vehicles only. The first “quiet” and clean street rally. Through beautiful landscapes and nature, for electromobiles with 2, 3, or 4 wheels. The e-miglia 2011 led from Munich to St. Moritz, via Mittersill and Bolzano. Four daily stages through four countries in Central Europe had to be accomplished by the participants.
The two eRUF Coupés managed to go the complete route without any technical problems. However, the event managers had problems organizing a proper battery charging system and this lead to difficulties and delays for the participants. Overall, valuable experience was gained.
Electric mobility is high on the priority list of many automobile manufacturers including Porsche where recently they introduced 3 electric Boxsters for testing and development. ELECTRIC BOXSTERS
