A supercar to make Grimple Smile
Supercars like Lamborghinis, Ferraris and Bugattis are known for their motoring prowess, innovative design and gas guzzling engines; rather than their eco friendly properties. However, Lamborghini have recently announced their plans to release an eco-supercar, which will be powered by integrated wind-turbines and solar panels.
The Lamborghini Countach EV, has all the high performance features of its predecessors but the 4 wind turbines and 2 solar panels shown in the diagram below charge an electric battery shown at the rear of the car.
This innovative design shows that even the finest of vehicles can have little or no carbon footprint, but with a pricetag of around £300,000, this particular car might be a little out of most people’s price range.
So what’s the alternative?
If your car doesn’t have wind turbines and solar panels to help reduce your carbon footprint, there is still something you can do to ensure your driving isn’t damaging the environment.
If you insure your car with The Green Insurance Company, we’ll completely offset 100% of your car’s carbon emissions by planting trees on your behalf in one of our 9 forestry projects across the UK. This service is completely free and is just one of many ways you can turn over a new green leaf.
