6. Pininfarina Bluecar (B0 or B Zero)

This is the Pininfarina Bluecar also known as B0 or B Zero. The Bluecar was believed to be a concept car until it hit the European market in late 2009 and is set to make its debut in the North American market by early 2011. With a maximum range of 155 miles (250 km) and a top speed of 80 mph ( 130 km/h) and will be capable of 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) in 6.3 seconds.



The Bluecar uses a lithium polymer battery technology (LMP) with a super capacitor with regenerative braking which helps extends the life of the battery and it will also feature a set of solar panels on its roof and hood that will help recharge the batteries. The lifespan of the batteries are expected to last 125,000 miles (200,000 km). The LMP battery will be able to be fully charged from any traditional outlet in less than five hours.
