Sex on Wheels

I think it's time for a post on some epically awesome, wicked, sicknasty, eco-friendly cars. Seriously, these babies are flyer than a flying parakeet. Flying in the air. With its wings.

Haha. Without further ado, I give you the 2010 Lotus Evora.

oh, yeaaaah.

Why it's hot: Um, why don't you LOOK AT IT FOR A SECOND? The interior is pretty cool too. It has race car seats, and a touch screen audio/video/GPS system. The Evora's protoype has a max speed of 160mph and goes from 0-60 in under 5 seconds. It also has amazing stopping power for all your Bond, James Bond driving moments.

Why it's green: Car weight is directly proportional to fuel consumption. The Evora, in all its sleekness, weighs only 2,976 lbs -- less than a Toyota Prius. Carbon emissions are relatively low at 225g/km (a really green car would be releasing only 150g/km, but what the heck). Testers report fuel consumption as 30+ mpg. Compared to other luxury sports cars, that's not half bad.

Next up, we have the Tesla Roadster Sport.

Can you hear the angels?

Why it's hot: It goes 0-60 in 3.7. That's like, .2 seconds away from a Rihanna song. Plus, the wheels are black. And you can get two-toned leather seats.

Why it's green: The Roadster is a plug-in car. Yes, that's right, you plug it in to an outlet, charge it up, and then zoom around for up to 244 miles before coming home to recharge. NO GAS. NO EMISSIONS. Twice as efficient as a Prius. [Editor's note: Yes, yes, people debate whether electric cars are green or if they just outsource pollution to power plants. I still want a Roadster.]

And finally...wait for it...the 2010 Ferrari FXX Millechili.

there are no words.

Why it's hot: Good god, it's a ferrari. Need I say more? [Editor's fun fact: I've actually never had great luck with Ferraris. Almost puked on one in Monte Carlo, almost got hit by one in San Francisco last month.]
Why it's green: "Mille chili" means 1,000 kg, or roughly 2,200 lbs. Miles above us, the ozone layer is smiling.
