"Now two new models show that green can be given a devastatingly cool makeover. Britain's Lightning GT and the U.S.-built Tesla Roadster both reach 60 m.p.h. in 4 seconds or less, their makers claim, with top speeds approaching 130 m.p.h. The Lightning GT — unveiled at London's International Motor Show last week and set to be available from the end of 2009 — sports an impressive, sleek and sexy design, drawing on Aston Martin's classic British look."
"Unsurprisingly, these stylish eco-warriors do not come cheap. They are exempt from road taxes and the central-London congestion charge, but at a base price of $109,000 for the Roadster and a target price of $240,000 for the Lightning, they may be made for the green among us but certainly not the mean — much cheaper, less-élite models will have to appear before the wider population can jump on the battery-powered bandwagon."
