Design boss Alfonsa Albaisa confirmed that it won't be based on an existing model, and will be an all-new electric car following the same path as its German rivals. Albaisa shared the news with Autocar at the Monterey car week, where the vintage racing-inspired Prototype 9 Concept was on display which uses an electric motor. Intriguingly, he revealed that next year's electric performance car concept will utilize some of the technology of the Prototype 9 "in a different context" when it' debuts in Detroit. Let's hope it looks as sleek as the Emerg-E sports car concept. The design boss has already driven a prototype model earlier this year, which he described as "very good."
