Fart-powered sports car rocks European roads
When it comes to alternatively fueled cars, there's no doubt that North America still lags behind our trendy friends across the pond.
The Cevennes Turbo CNG from PGO Sevennes is a Porsche lookalike that runs on compressed natural gas (methane.) While the Cevennes Euro-sportster styling should give you cred with the crowd down at the country club, it doesn't pack quite the under-the-hood punch of its internal combustion counterparts, pumping out 150 hp for a maximum speed of 130 mph. That won't make you the envy of the Autobahn, but it should be more than fast enough for your daily commute.
The tradeoff for the less sporty performance is enhanced greenishness - the CNG fuel means that it emits 118 g/km of CO2, consistent with gas-electric hybrids. If you're in the market for a very cool looking car with funny-smelling exhaust and you happen to be in Germany, it'll run you about $70k.
