Ferrari: Going Green

Posted on December 14, 2007 Under Design

You can debate global warming until you’re green in the face, but the fact is that the end all and be all has spoken — and I don’t mean Al Gore. Car makers have slowly been trickling out more efficient vehicles in the wake of An Inconvenient Truth along with a hybrid here and there.

But now the boss of them all is making a commitment that should lead the all-out charge. According to EcoGeek, Ferrari, the maker of all things sex on wheels, has committed to reducing fuel consumption of its supercars by forty percent over the next five years. And you can be sure of one thing, they’re not going to be forfeiting anything in the way of performance to make that happen. Think about it: 500+ miles per tank and 0-60 in 3 seconds flat. Sounds like a sportscar enthusiast’s dream car to me.
