Along with ghost-vehicle on the 4th, this is the most controversial of the top. That’s because car fanatics havebranded a field with a harsh label, calling it “toy Lotusmasking. Their reason: the body and interior fittings – less thanwhat lies under the hood – roughly copy the Lotus Europa, and the new Dodge Green’s only been seen as a bad marketingmove.

 

Dodge Circuit EV presents more than respectable: it ispowered by an electric motor with lithium-ion batteries, with arange of 320 km, develops 268 horsepower, starting from 0-100 km / h in five seconds, and speed maximum is 195 km / h.Chrysler announces Dodge’s marketing EV Circuit since 2010, at a very competitive price: what, for such a luxuryfireball, is under $ 100,000.

 

9. Tango: 0-100 km/h in 4,5 s

Of all the eco-vehicles within this classification, Tango isclosest to the infamous image of green prototypes that areused: the small, ugly and seemingly neergonomica. Bycomparison with the rest of “meteorites” from other positions,Tango has a taste of Cinderella in its worst days, and at the moment it was launched, critics wondered whether self “howcan something be taken seriously ?

 

Well, maybe. Do not she look too handsome, but hisproducers, Americans from Commuter Cars, had twoobjectives: to develop a safe and efficient machine at the same time, aspire to the title of fastest urban car market. And they did: reach only 4.5 per cent in seconds and has a topspeed of 193.1 km / h (electronically limited). Works by 19Hawker Genesis batteries G70EP prototype, which, unlikethose fitted to other vehicles from this ranking are based onacid – not lithium-ion, optional, but i can also mount the latter. Inboth configurations, Tango’s autonomy unexpectedly reached250 km. Costa $ 110,000. The first prototype is in possession of gray sex symbol George Clooney, and the second came onthe second floor of an office building in Silicon Valley, in the office of Eric Schmidt, Google’s boss, as a joke made ??by April 1 employees of the online giant last year.

 

8. Rinspeed iChange: 0-100 km/h in 4 s

“She” recently made ??her debut at the Geneva Motor Show 2009which has left many critics Cascata mouth thanks to its uniqueability to change shape depending on the number ofpassengers on board. Morf His forms have been made ??by Swiss designer Frank Rinderknecht talentalul which he imagined a vehicle with a single place which, while necessary,can be transformed into one of three places. The rationalebehind this bizarre is that green meteor aerodynamics change with dramatic results, according to the weight of the car.

 

The car is powered by a 150-kilowatt electric motor thatdevelops 204 horsepower, aided by integrated solar panels onthe roof of the body, two lithium-ion batteries and a manualtransmission borrowed from the Subaru WRX. It reaches a top speed of 220 km / h. IChange Rinspeed concept car is themost expensive vehicle on the top, costing one million euros.

 

7. Eliica: 0-100 km/h in 4 s

Although it looks like a vehicle off a science fiction film categoryB, Eliica, with all its 8 wheels, accelerating faster than aPorsche 911 Turbo. Eliica (Electric Lithium-Ion Car) wasinvented by Japanese researcher Hiroshi Shimizu, coordinatorof a team of engineers at Keio University in Tokyo, in late 2003.

 

On high-speed Nardo circuit in Italy, bolide caught a top speed of 370 km / h, but the inventor says that in optimal conditions or,Eliica exceed 400 km / h – in fact, it is the current objective of itsproducers. Until now only two models were produced – onedesigned to excel in speed records, other records foracceleration, both costing about $ 250,000.

 

6. Tesla Roadster: 0-100 km/h in 3,9 s

Until recently, a sports car produced in series to be as “sexosand equipped” and Bugatti Veyron, but to issue zero grams ofcarbon dioxide resemble a utopian environmentalist fantasylove speed. But the dream was fulfilled by Tesla Motors, whichlast year unveiled the Tesla Roadster, a towering fireball crossthe 100,000-euro cent brags that reaches in 3.9 seconds andwhose engine speed exceeds 13,000 rpm (as compared to7000 rpm can usually withstand a motor fuel).

 

The vehicle was assembled in San Carlos, California factoryand uses the technical platform of Lotus Elise sports model,attaching to it any more, no less than 6,800 lithium-ionbatteries. They give a range of 360 km, and their completerecharge takes 3 hours and a half. A Roadster Top speed is201 km / h (electronically limited).

 

5. AC Propulsion tzero Roadster: 0-100 km/h in 3,6 s

It needs only 200 horsepower to sprung with greatnonchalance from 0 to 100 km / h, thanks to “body”they sturdy,but lightweight. In addition, he made ??numerous victims,surpassing in drag competitions (start + 400 meters) a lot ofPorsche 911, Corvette and some even a Ferrari F355, whichbeat savagely beating him almost 20 feet!

 

Tzero is produced by Californian company AC Propulsion, has a range of more than “pretty good” (at least compared withother present from the top) of 482 km and cost an estimated $ 220,000. Bolide price but could be much more spicy, as ACPropulsion has produced only three such prototypes in 2003, todemonstrate that an electric car can be as quick and efficient,but inexplicably abandoned a plan to develop roadster softwareseries. Six years ago, Tzero ranked 2 of this top.

 

4. L1X-75: 0-100 km/h in 3,1 s

This is what we might call a ghost car. It seems that there is asingle parent in the world, which was discovered in New Yorkin 2007, journalists from the U.S. magazine PopularMechanics. They have also photographed him and haveposted a video on their website to demonstrate that vehicleFatos green who walk the red paint is not just a chimera.Photo remained and spread on the Internet, but video that I saw him L1X-75 incordandu his muscles in action is gone …

 

Since then, no one knows what became of him, although the makers of L1X-75, Hybrid Technologies Inc.. and Mullen MotorCompany, also sent from time to time in press releasesannouncing what happens with the prototype. Of these, we found that L1X-75 has 600 horsepower, is developing a top speed of 281 mph and cost $ 125,000.

 

3. Wrightspeed X1: 0-100 km/h in 3,07 s

The prototype looks like a hybrid between a car and a go-kartfor the Indy-500, but it already has a strong and appealingresume, being cheered in the famous show Top Gear, two years ago, when he made ??an appearance in the landscape ofhot rods green. It has also been the protagonist of an episodefrom the popular series on Discovery Channel, MythBusters, which, by means of 5 tests, Adam Savage and JamieHyneman have wanted to demonstrate why an eco-car isbetter than a Ferrari. And they resusit: all five tests have beenwon by X1.

 

Runner-up three runs with a three-phase AC motor, whichcatapults it from 0 to 100 km in 3 seconds and has no gear lever – a single press on the gas pedal from reaching top speed: 180.2 km / h. It is powered by hybrid technologybatteries, lithium polymer, not cheap (they cost only $ 40,000), which gives them a range of 160 km. Prototype value isestimated somewhere around $ 200,000.

 

2. Electric Datsun 1972: 0-100 km/h in 2,95 s

Surprisingly, if this top was made two years ago, theleading position we have met with an electric car produced in1972! Today, however, is dethroned Electric Datsun, althoughthere is still on the podium, coming a respectable second place. Sedan “White Zombie”, as nicknamed by its owner, wasbought in 1985 for only 585 American dollars by John Wayland.Immediately after purchase, it started to upgrade and tune the car, giving it no more than 60 lithium-ion batteries of 12 volts,which have “swallowed” the trunk and back seat of the car.

 

It takes 20 minutes for the batteries to be charged at full capacity, and their autonomy is 64 kilometers. But not on thestreets of the vehicle conteza independence, but it has beenrearranged for – is to participate in national competitions drag(start), where he was champion for years, umiland respectedracing cars that run on gas, and Corvette and Porsche. Nothandsome, “White Moroiul is extremely hot, reaching a hundredin 2.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 209.5 km. It is thecheapest car in the top, with current facilities is estimated at”only” $ 35,000.

It is a relatively new name entered the auto industry – thecompany was founded by American billionaire very ambitiousJerod Shelby, only 10 years ago. Gathering around him anexcellent team of young and talented designers and engineers,Shelby was able to overthrow the already famous BugattiVeyron on the position of fastest production car in the world byAero TT model – approved by the Guinness Book record 9 October 2007, when American bolide reached no less than 413km / h.

 

Satisfied and motivated by this record, Shelby wanted to repeatperformance vehicle, but this time in an eco-friendly alternative.Thus, in mid 2008, the prototype of the fastest cars appeargreen in the world, Aero EV. A truly revolutionary car, a newtechnology developed AESP (Scalable All-Electric Powertrain),which is based on a lithium battery pack, able to fully rechargein just 10 minutes from a regular source of 110 volt, U.S. whichoffers a range of 320 km! Batteries put into operation two twinelectric motors 1,000 hp / power that make this gorgeous greenfireball to reach 100 km in just 2.5 seconds and reach a topspeed of 334.7 km / h! The prototype is assessed at $ 500,000.
