Zap's new 'green' electric sports car for the ecologically-conscious

For those of you into traveling in an ecologically sounds manner, hybrid cars or even 100% electric cars may have been on your radar before. Some popular vehicles like the Toyota Prius and the Ford Escape come in gas/electric hybrid versions and are not that expensive all things considered. But, the payoff in terms of gas cost savings is not immediate.

ZAP, a pioneer in the personal electric transportation industry, will soon have you covered in style if you're one to want a sports car with excellent, head-turning design -- and fast acceleration -- but who also wants a vehicle that does good by the environment.

The cool news -- this car was developed in conjunction with Lotus Engineering from Britain. that's one sweet ticket.
