Lotus Eco Elise

First of all the fact is Henry Ford experimented with hemp to build car bodies. He wanted to build and fuel cars from farm products. It is known that now BMW is experimenting with hemp materials in automobiles as part of an effort to make cars more recyclable. Rudolph Diesel designed his engine to run on hemp oil. And there is the green car, Lotus Eco Elise wich body was made out of hemp. "This Eco Elise is a great example of the advanced and affordable green technologies Lotus is developing. We are at the cutting edge of environmental technology and are determined to push forward with our green agenda. The Lotus brand values of lightweight, fuel efficient, and high performance are more relevant today than they ever have been. We are keen to ensure that Lotus as a company and its products offer an ethical, green option that appeals to our customers". says Mike Kimberley, CEO of Group Lotus plc.



The project focuses on developments in:
Sustainable materials
Cleaner manufacturing processes
Renewable energy generation
Reducing carbon miles
Efficient driving techniques

Supercar Scorpion

Really it sounds great - a 200mph-plus supercar that takes 3.5 seconds to get to 60mph, and still gets 40 miles per gallon. I mean a new hybrid-powered sports car The Scorpion. The supercar also boasts a high performance V-6 engine, capable of delivering 289 hp, with an additional option for a 450 hp model.



Unlike other hydrogen vehicles, the Scorpion does not require a high pressure, on-board hydrogen storage tank or hydrogen fuelling station. And consequently, the system seems to tampering with the dark laws of thermodynamics.

New investors in Ronn Motors are currently being encouraged, via the company website. Ronn Maxwell of the company, says he expects to start deliveries in this year autumn, with no price announced so far.
