Race cars are light, they still get horrible mileage....even if you just grand mother it around everywhere. Fat tires, wings, 4 wheel drive...etc, they don't help the "green" aspect of this thing.
Of course the direction is right, but the intent is grossly different....of course "adding lightness" should be something all "green conscious" future car should consider, or else a conventionally engined, non-hybird car would've won automotive X-prize....
Taking this for what it is though, a light weight, super high performance version of Gallardo, it is pretty cool looking....
Not a fan of the 10 holes though...
