The Velozzi


Unlike the rest of the cars on this list, this car is a hybrid rather than a full electric vehicle. The car is being created by Team Velozzi to compete in the 2009 automotive X-Prize, a competition to find a super fuel-efficient vehicle that is environmentally friendly, desirable, and marketable. The Velozzi is certainly all those, at least for me. The car boasts a top speed of 200 mph and goes 0-60 in under three seconds. It gets better. The hybrid’s gas tanks can be fuelled with almost anything, including gas, biodiesel, methanol, or pretty much any of your normal alternative fuels. The design is top notch as well. The Velozzi is an Italian car, and its designers took some of their design from the classic Italian sports cars. If you look closely, you can see a bit of Lamborghini in it.
