Default Now, If & When Hybrids Like THIS Come Out, I'll Be 1st In Line.

A car that could save the planet—fast

Silicon Valley's big brains think they can beat Detroit and Tokyo and save the planet -- all while doing 0 to 60 faster than almost anything on the road.
May 5, 2006: 5:57 AM EDT

The set up paragraph:

SAN FRANCISCO (Business 2.0 Magazine) - Ian Wright has a car that blows away a Ferrari 360 Spider and a Porsche Carrera GT in drag races, and whose 0-to-60 acceleration time ranks it among the fastest production autos in the world. In fact, it's second only to the French-made Bugatti Veyron, a 1,000-horsepower, 16-cylinder beast that hits 60 mph half a second faster and goes for $1.25 million.

The key difference? The Bugatti gets eight miles per gallon. Wright's car? It runs off an electric battery.

An ariel atom copy. Chances are, that car isnt affordable for the general public. If you have the money for one, you have the money to pay for the expensive gas costs. kind of pointless...
