A Green Remake for the Great Race
May 30, 2008 will witness green-tech cars embarking on an historic 22,000 mile race from New York to Paris to prove their engineering mettle. The race's predecessor, run in 1908 - and still the longest automobile race on record - showcased evolving automotive technology as cars battled from New York to Paris. These pioneering accomplishments went on to inspire the 1965 film, The Great Race.
This year, on its hundredth anniversary, the race highlights green technology vehicles powered by renewable energy or achieving hyper fuel efficiency. Early entries include a Ford prototype vehicle, a production hybrid-electric model, and a 1967 Aston Martin DB-6 Vantage, running on ethanol-85.
