Green cars that go fast

It is said the first speeding ticket ever issued was a hybrid vehicle in 1904, to an individual that was driving a car with a gasoline engine that also had a battery pack. He was speeding at 12 mph. Nonethless, these days hybrids or other green cars are considered to be the slow and boring. Well, dont judge to soon, Forbes Auto put together a list of green supercars, some that are available and some that will be made available in the near future.
