More likely, I think, is that it'll introduce the idea of electric sports cars to more people. It won't take them long to learn about the Tesla Roadster, which is actually available (sorta).The trouble with both vehicles is that they just distract potential Roadster customers with promises of jam tomorrow.
But Tesla has had no problems with the battery and lots of issues with the gearbox.
Tesla patented the way that they did the battery pack, so other companies may opt to experiment with other types of battery arrangements even though we know the "Tesla way" works.
Will it be similar to the Tesla where it can only reach that speed for a short time?
...and the result? An electric Porsche 911 that sprints from 0 to 60mph in less than 7 seconds with a top speed of 160.
Hmm... The original article said "With more torque on tap, the electric version might shave a few ticks off that time and could even beat the Tesla's 0-to-60 sprint of 4.0 seconds."
Tesla looks & smells evaporating and killing your nasal receptors as soon as you hit the seat (yes - smells inside - thats also important)

After reading alot about existing ICE -> Electric conversions I found out trannies are not such a bad idea after all. ICEs need them because of their narrow torque band but electrics will use them to increase efficiency i.e. range.They even just mated the UQM motor to the existing 6 speed tranny, which seems suboptimal for an electric motor
