GreenGT: The Future Of Racing

Good news has been showering the world of the Le Mans GT Racing. With the apparent misunderstandings between several Formula 1 owners and the sport’s governing body, the FIA, some teams are threatening to move to Le Mans, including F1’s oldest citizen, Ferrari. While the racing gene will still be in man’s blood, the type of cars he’ll be racing with is still in doubt. The GreenGT electric racer, however, keeps the future of racing safe. This EV has been certified by the FIA and will sport a carbon fiber chassis with a composite body. It will be powered by a pair of water-cooled 100 kW electric motors delivering up to 450 horsepower. Jolting the electric motors are lithium-ion batteries that could be recharged by the solar cells on the body. The car will weigh just under 1900 lbs and is touted to reach a top speed of 171 mph. News that 22 units will be available to the eco-conscious public with a racing heart just made the GreenGT an even sweeter car.

Tesla Model S: Seat Seven In Heaven

Raising a family is one thing, raising an environmentally-conscious family is another. Tesla releases a car for the family of tomorrow, that is, the family that won’t rely on fossil fuels with their latest electric vehicle (EV), the Model S. After over 250 deliveries of the first Tesla, the Roadster, the company is now setting sights on the family that wants performance, comfort, and luxury yet has the compassion for our beloved planet. The Model S seats five adults and two children and has more cargo space with equally priced cars because of a second trunk found under the hood. The 9-inch, liquid-cooled electric motor mated to the single-speed transmission propels the car to 60 mph from a standing start in about 5.5 seconds. A 300-mile range is possible because of the new batteries installed and these can be charged in 45 minutes. The panoramic roof lets the driver and passengers enjoy the view of the sky they’re not polluting while driving the Model S. $50,000.
