From the series Great Cars. There's a bold new future coming down the road -- hybrids, fuel cells and electrics cars are just the beginning. They'll be joined by cars that even run on recycled French fry grease. As gas prices skyrocket we'll discover what's in the works that can help us kick the petrol habit. We'll take the audience along and show them what the future holds. It's a fascinating look at the challenges and possibilities for moving us to a fuel-efficient, non-polluting and fun driving tomorrow. Being enviro-friendly doesn't mean you can't have fun. We'll take a ride in an electric sports car that goes from 0 to 60 in 4 seconds and tear up the track with legendary racecar builder, Carroll Shelby, as he puts his hydrogen powered Cobra through its paces. BMW, GM, Ford, Toyota and the US Government are all working to create cars that will drive us into the future. This show traverses the many divergent routes to global energy independence and a healthier environment while taking rides in clean vehicles that people will want to drive. More at GreatCarsTV.com
