Mean and Green Racing Coming to Your Street Soon

As a hybrid driver myself (I have a Toyota Prius) I love to see new alternative fuel vehicles being designed. The combustion engine is so 1980 - the next generation of car gearheads and monkey wrenchers are going to be about hybrid/electric/fuel cell cars.

The Wrightspeed X1 is a great prototype of what an all electric car can do: look good, help the planet, and burn rubber.

The X1 prototype is just the beginning. It meets its design specs of 0-60 in 3 seconds, 170 mpg equivalent; and at 1536 lbs, is only 36 lbs over the design target of 1500. It really does raise the performance driving experience to a new level, even for racing drivers. No clutch, no shifting, precise and immediate control of torque in drive and braking, perfect traction control…first gear takes you to 112mph…
