Sexy Sports Car Is Also Green

GreenUpgrader :

They keep getting better and better! Here's another killer eco-friendly sports car. While this is still a concept, Hybrid Technologies has some pretty bold aspirations aiming to have a working prototype by this September and be on the market by lat 2009, early 2010. They plan to produce two models of this beauty, an all electric that will have a range of 150-180 miles, and a plug-in hybrid model that they are entering into the Progressive Automotive X-prize competition and will boast a 220 mile per gallon efficiency! The details on the specs of this Green super-car are scant. Popular Mechanics interviewed one of the engineers working on the project, Ron Cervan. When asked if this car would be able to match the Corvette ZR-1's performance (638 Horses), Cervan laughed and told them they are "way out of the ballpark--it's gonna be wild."

Concepts cars are really easy. I have one that goes 2000 miles powered by the fizz from a single two liter bottle of soda pop.

Turning the concepts into real cars is quite a bit more difficult. I would expect to actually drive one of these Hybrid Technologies cars the day after never.

It's all vapor until it condenses into an actual product people can buy. So many companies promise the moon to get some real cheese.
