Porsche 550 styling cues. Lightweight composite materials. Two electric motors with a combined 270 horsepower and 324 foot-pounds of torque. 2,000-pound curb weight. Zero to 60 in less than four seconds. Wicked green paint. It’s the BRUSA roadster, a Swiss fun-mobile that could compete with the paragon of electric performance, the Tesla Roadster. And it’s hot.

The car was built by BRUSA Elektronik in Switzerland. It features a lithium-polymer battery good for more than 100 kilometers (about 62 miles) and can be recharged in four hours via a 220-volt power outlet.

No word on whether the BRUSA roadster will actually be produced or sold, but one can hope.
