    Popular Mechanics Catches 600HP Mullen Motor GT Getting Electric For New York Auto Show

    The popular kids who happen to be mechanics were lucky enough to spot a fun little under cover toy as they were leaving the Javits Center the other day at the conclusion of New York's fab little auto show. One of those Popular Mechanics, Ben Chertoff, can take it from here:
    "We went...to investigate, and discovered the L1X-75, a 600-hp, carbon-fiber rocket that's powered by nothing more than your 110 outlet.

    Hybrid Technologies Launches Electric Mullen Sports Car

    Electric-vehicles doohicky builder Hybrid Technologies is set to launch the previously announced all-electric version of the Mullen L1X-75 supercar. It's called the L1X-75 GT, and it's a carbon-fiber-bodied version of the V8 Mullen, called out by Forbes as the seventh fastest car in the US, a designation shared among the Saleen S7 and Dodge Viper. Hybrid Technologies's propulsion system, fed by a lithium battery — the company says — is "aimed at surpassing current electric sports cars," not mentioning the high-profile Tesla sports car by name (hint hint). Hybrid Technologies expects to market the $125,000 EV in Japan, the United Arab Emirates and the US. In other news, all-electric track day is coming up any time now. – Mike Spinelli More »

    New Electric Supercar: Mullen GT

    It may be on the pug side of pretty, but the Mullen GT supercar is fast as a bowl of fuck. Now, it's gotten a good greening. The company's working with Hybrid Technologies, which has fitted the GT with a high-performance electric-drive kit that's recast it as an e-supercar. Word is the zero-emissions version looks and performs identically to the fossil-fueled Mullen GT — zero to 60 in three seconds and a top speed of 180 mph. And next to the $600,000 Venturi F tish, the $125,000 Mullen looks like a helluva e-bargain. More »

    The Five Year Plan's in Effect Y'All: China Going Hybrid

    Whoa...we thought the Five Year Plan went out with Stalin, but well, that just goes to show how ignorant we are of ChiCom politics. Part of the 11th FYP is to get more homebrewed hybrids on the road, and Renault's part-time lover, Dongfeng is in on the deal, and they hope to have hybrids as a main vehicle class by 2010. On a side note, they're also working with manufacturer-of-ugly supercars Mullen to develop a hybrid speed machine. We're afraid. More »

    Forbes Ranks America's Fastest Cars

    Dan Lienert breaks down the answer to the question burning in the collective mind of 12 year-old boys across the nation: What are the darn-tootin'est high-speed rides built in the US of A today? Some of the cars that made the list are motoring icons to even the most casual auto enthusiast the Ford GT, Dodge Viper and Corvette Z06, for example. Topping the roster, however, is the banzai-nuts SSC Ultimate Aero, with a Veyron-fingering estimated top speed of 273 MPH. Eep. Other high-speed obscura? The extra-ugly-with-a-side-of-hideous Mullen M-11 V-8 and the GTP-car-with-chromosomal non-disjuncture Evans 387 and 487. Click through for the list. More »
