The Eco-Friendly Lotus Eco Elise
One green car in the spotlight right now is the Lotus Eco Elise. Known for delivering classy sports-cars, a new twist on green motoring with a two seater made from eco-friendly materials is what this new car concept has to offer.
The Eco Elise features an interior made from wool, instead of more traditional materials such as alcantara or leather, while some of the exterior body panels are made from hemp.
On the roof there are solar panels that provide the electricity to run the stereo and air conditioning, and the rest of the body is coated in a new water-based paint developed with DuPont that is not only more environment friendly, but also cheaper to produce.
