Photo Gallery: Electrics to hypercars. The best from the Geneva auto show.
The 81st International Geneva Motorshow is underway exhibiting the dichotomy in the industry with full electric vehicles to 1,000 horsepower fuel swilling beasts. Many manufacturers are looking to bridge the gap between performance and economy? This year at Geneva there are a remarkable number of cars and concepts that could wean our thirst for oil.
Despite all the technology and exotic hardware, our favorite is old school. British car maker Morgan will be reviving a slightly more modern interpretation of its 1930's era three wheeler. Even with only 115 hp from a Harley-Davidson V-Twin engine, little could be more fun than rowing the gears in this 1,100 lbs roadster. It should scoot to 60 from 0 in around 4.5 seconds. This could be our kind of green machine.
