WIRED has compiled a list of fast
green cars. The magazine looked for the fastest cars that ran on a type of green fuel or no fuel at all, like the
Volvo Aria in the picture above. That car runs on gravity and won the 2005 extreme gravity race. Ethanol, steam,
hydrogen, electric, solar, gravity, human power, wind - they're all in WIRED's list. Of course, Autoblog and
AutoblogGreen have covered all of these great, green cars. Except for the
Nuna4 solar car, which we somehow missed. Below is WIRED's list with links to our coverage of these cars. Alongside the links are the speeds the cars reached. We were disappointed to see that the
White Zombie and especially
Buckeye Bullet did not make the list. So, we just might have to make a fastest list of our own. Please vote for your favorite fast green cars in the comments.
- Ethanol Viper 220.7 MPH
- Steam Inspiration 215 MPH
- Hydrogen Ford 207.3 MPH
- Diesel Audi 204.5 MPH
- Hybrid Prius 130.8 MPH
- Electric Tesla 130 MPH
- Solar Nuna4 80 MPH
- Gravity Aria 54 MPH
- Humancar 30 MPH
- Wind Venturi 31 MPH
