Videos: Jay Leno's E85 Corvette, Suzuki's fuel cell bullet bike
Filed under: Ethanol, Hydrogen, GM, Suzuki, On Two Wheels
Below the fold are two videos that proves green can be cool. The first video is Jay Leno showing off his E85 Corvette at this year's SEMA. "Green goes with mean was the message at" SEMA, according to the video's description (and backed up by Jay saying the car has 600 horse power). The second video is all about Suzuki's fuel cell concept bike the Crosscage. The electric engine and fuel cell battery's light weight and compact design means a power output of 155 CCs.
The power and speed every gearhead wants is best accomplished with green, efficient products ... and now EVs are starting to look like they should provide that power and speed. The idea that electric cars are just golf carts is officially dead.

I'd say we're still aways away from convincing mainstream America that EVs aren't necessarily golf carts. When a highway-capable EV gets a 60-second Superbowl commercial, then I'll believe it :)

Kardax, If it's a Superbowl ad, then everyone already knows :D I think the stream of concepts and show cars that all say ethanol or electric AND mention power proves it's dead for insiders. Yes, they might not show up in a cars but MTV's Pimp My Ride, Tesla, drag races, record breakers, etc etc; gear heads know they have have the power and I don't think that was really true before. Sure, the die hards could probably tell you but they did not have the cars to point to. They do now. Bikes too.
