Eco Friendly Sports cars?

In this day and age, when the polar icecaps are melting at a faster speed then he sports cars that are melting them, we we often wonder if sports cars can be eco friendly? This is why the motor news blog is going to give you the lowdown on eco friendly fast cars.

Firstly, one of the motor blog's favourite cars is the lotus elise. Although its not eco friendly, for the performance its fantastic. This car emits 185g/km of co2. To put this into perspective, the average afmily car emits 155g/km of co2 so the lotus elise isn't bad. Sorry if you will find this penalising because you know about cars but some people wont. Lotus doesn't harm the environment that much because it uses the Chaplin theory which is that instead of putting a bigger engine in the car, reduce the weight.

Secondly, there is the tesla roadster. Now expect a more detailed post to be put up on the motor blog later this year but for now i will outline the car. The car is powered by an electric engine. The exciting part is that it will reach 60mph in under 4 secs! That's incredible, it's faster then aston martin and ferrari.

Thirdly, the mini cooper S has recently advertised itself as being green. The 1.6 litre engine powers the car to 60 in 7 secs (not fast but not slow either) and the enigne emits just 149g/km of co2. We love this car however, mostly for its economy. It will do over 40 mpg and be a performance car aswell.

I could go on and mention the koenigsegg that runs on bio fuel etc. but there technology is a long way off. Please comment and tell us if you agree with motor news blogs opinions.
