e85 cars.... a childish concept continued




his is another nice car

this is still a concept car, but toyota indicates that it will be in production in a couple years.
here's what i found about this car from trendpimp using the yahoo search

For a while there I was scared hybrids and "green" cars would be weak, girly little cars with slow engines. But what I'm seeing from Toyota has made me a happy man. Imagine having a car that is much faster than a Porsche, Mercedes AMG and any M series car from BMW and still cost 1/4 the price! Well Toyota plans to sell the FT-HS somewhere in the mid 30k range which, if correct, has me sold as I type this down. The goal of the rear wheel drive(thank god!) hybrid powertrain is to produce 400 horsepower and achieve 0-60 mph in around 4 seconds. This is accomplished with by combining a 3.5-liter V6 and an electric motor in a similar manner to the Lexus GS450h. What else does Toyota have in store? Well, for starters the 2+2 vehicle features a unique retractable roof similar to a targa top, but most likely will cancel out any use of the backseats when down. There still is no final word if the Toyota FT-HS will make it to production, but they haven't had a sports car since the Supra in 1997. So if anyone from Toyota reads this article, be sure to get this car onto the production line, I will surely be your first customer!

but why this title to this blog entry?
aside from the fact that ethanol cannot be transported in pipelines, produces less power than gasoline, creates food shortages, water shortages, price inflation in all food products, forest land reduction, and various other problems, it uses more resources to produce ethanol than it creates.
obviously i'm not even trying to be rigorous in my arguments here, since it is impossible to cover all angles. i just put out all this so i can just put up a link to the article that i enjoyed reading (and some cool car pictures that i ran into). Here it is.

e85 cars.... a childish concept



apparently, these electric cars that you can plug into your garage socket through a home charger to power up have sold out their first batch of cars they manufactured.
looking through the website i find that it
- goes 0 to 60 in 4 seconds
- 250 miles between charges
- costs 1 cent per mile
as you can see from the picture the designs isn't shabby either. they worked with lotus on design and some engineering.
the drawbacks.
- the base price is about 93000 usd.
- obviously you can't just take this car to any mechanic to fix it if it breaks down.

another alternative is the toyota FT-HS concept.
