10 Super Fast, Super Green Cars

by Terrence O'Brien, posted Aug 27th 2007 at 5:36PM

Wired has compiled a list and photo gallery of 10 Earth-friendly roadsters meant to shake off the reputation alternative fueled vehicles have for being slow, and, frankly, kind of lame (even if some of Wired's picks are wildly impractical, overpriced or downright ridiculous, as is the FM4-Human Car pictured above).

From a highly-aerodynamic solar powered car to a modified Prius to a glorified go-cart powered only by gravity, the vehicles on the list cover all of the alt-fuel bases. Be sure to check out the rest of this comprehensive middle finger to Big Oil, including our favorite, a drool-inducing electric beast named after scientist Nikola Telsa.
