Lotus Elise gets the eco treatment
We could probably lose count on the amount of time that the Lotus Elise has been updated or made into a limited edition, but the Lotus Eco Elise is something very different and deserves a little bit of attention.
This eco-machine has been built using as much sustainable material as possible, which is evident almost everywhere you look. A real effort has been put into the design and construction of this car, with solar panels in the roof and green driving assistance to cut back on fuel consumption.The design also utilizes hemp, wood, wool and water based paint.

Ah, very clever marketing to alleviate that guilt of owning a high performance sports car in these days of high fuel costs!
