A Porsche 911 isn’t a bad little car, if you go for that sort of thing. But did you know that there are five ecologically-chic alternative cars that actually go faster than the 911? It’s true. And considering that means beating 0 to 60 in 4 seconds, that’s no small accomplishment.
The following five eco-cars all leave the Porsche 911 in the dust:
- The cutting edge all-electric Tesla Roadster by Tesla Motors comes in at 0 to 60 in 3.9 seconds with an MSRP of right around $98,000—but don’t bother ordering one. Production for 2009 has been delayed due to the credit crunch and 2008 is sold out.
- The TZero By AC Propulsion is an all-electric sports car that clock in with the not-too-shabby 0 to 60 in 3.6 second.
- The Aero EV Shelby Supercar (it even sounds fast) does 0 to 60 in a heart-stopping 2.8 seconds.
- The eccentric all-electric Tango (George Clooney owns one) matches the 911 with a 0 to 60 score of 4 seconds.
- The Wrightspeed X1 Prototype is an all-electric concept car hits 0 to 60 in 3.07 seconds.
