Ladies and gentlemen drivers, your worst dystopian future nightmare has arrived and it’s coming all the way from China. Seriously, the Auto Shanghai 2015 depicts a grotesque future in which Ferrari merges with Porsche to create an EV.
Naturally, this sportscar proposal comes from Suzhou Eagle, a company that specializes in electric vehicle proposals such as golf carts and garbage trucks. Still, these guys take themselves extremely serious, even offering a model that’s street legal in the European Union.
Returning to this Porsche Cayman copy that’s received a Ferrari F12berlinetta face transplant, it all starts with the badge. Eagle has taken the liberty to insert its logo into the Porsche crest in this proud upmarket move.
At the rear, the 981 Cayman copy-paste job appears to be even more complete, with no Prancing Horses running around this area. We only have a few renderings of the cabin, which obviously continue the Zuffenhausen theme, with the exception of the dashboard instruments, which are fully digital.
The two-door oddity also features wheel-hub motors that promise to deliver 600 Nm (442.5 lb-ft). The vehicle tips the scales at 800 kg (1,763 lbs) while the battery pack adds 260 kg (573 lbs).
This petite monstrosity measures 4.3 meters (169.3 inches) in length, 1.8 meters (71 inches) in width and 1.3 meters (51 inches) in height.
As for the performance, we are promised a 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint of 4.8 seconds while the top speed sits at 120 KM/H. Nope, there’s no typo here, we’re talking about 75 MPH. At 9kWh, the battery pack seems like a bad joke and so does the promised range of over 260 km (161 miles).
Aside from the (Throw-Up) Green you see here, the carmaker proposes four other colors. Hopefully, the company’s Ferrporschini dream will never become a production reality.

The historical irony
Ironically, Eagle seems to have followed Porsche to its very core. While the German carmaker is considering building an EV these days, we’ll remind you Prof. Ferdinand Porsche unveiled his Lohner Porsche, an electric vehicle powered by wheel-hub motors, back in 1900.The two-door oddity also features wheel-hub motors that promise to deliver 600 Nm (442.5 lb-ft). The vehicle tips the scales at 800 kg (1,763 lbs) while the battery pack adds 260 kg (573 lbs).
