Who knew going green could be so fun? Pumped with 4 electric motors pushing 526 horsepower and 649 pound-feet of torque, the can make that transition to emission-free cars oh so smoother (and faster!).

So far just a prototype, this piece of work is set to go on sale for 2013. But be prepared to reach into those deep pockets of yours because surely this 12,000 RPM screamer is not going to come cheap.

The better watch its back.

    Thanks smoking fast. But what’s with the ‘back to future’ doors?

    The company mentioned that every inch was designed to somehow increase the flow of air around the vehicle to make it the most aerodynamic…so possibly back-to-the-future had some sustainable car doors?
