Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche, Bentley Heading To Market With Performance EVs

The Volkswagen Group is reportedly keen to expand its electrified plans to its range-topping brands. This could result in all-new, performance-focused hybrid and EV models from Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, and Porsche, Automobile Magazine reports.

Citing an unnamed source, the publication claims Porsche’s long-awaited, all-electric Mission E will sit at the top of this new family and be followed by a zero-emissions creation from Bentley and a pair of two-door, 2+2 models from both Bugatti and Lamborghini.

THe brands involved do not even come close to the position GM is in the marketplace.

And - they are also in the price category that one can hardly say EVERYBODY could afford as well.

However - it is still NOT supported that the upper crust will decide to buy EV's - they are not normally the ones we associated with "green" causes. Until there is no choice - those cars will remain ICE.

@TomM YET AGAIN you miss the point.

The point is OBVIOUSLY one of market over-saturation.

VW produces the MissionE and then re-fender it as a Bentley, Lamborghini, and Bugatti. That approach is as crass and opportunistic as the market over-saturation of GM's approach to its letter cars.
