The automotive world — at least in fits and starts —is going electric. That means that, over the next several years, automakers will reinterpret their combustion performance icons for a brave new battery-powered world. Porsche’s next 718 will be an EV. Ditto for Alfa Romeo’s future Giulia Quadrifoglio. And BMW’s development head, Frank Weber, confirmed, “the next M3 will be battery-electric — full battery electric.”
