Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday unveiled prototypes of a domestically produced electric car, putting him closer to fulfilling a long-held dream of building Turkey's first 'national' automobile.

Erdogan showcased the SUV and sedan models of the car, known for now as TOGG after a consortium of Turkish companies that will produce them, at a ceremony in Gebze, in Turkey's northwestern industrial heartland.

The president test drove a car across a suspension bridge over the Gulf of Izmit.  

Two models were unveilled on Thursday, but five are planned with an autonomy of 300 miles on a full charge.
