cooking oil?…… its not a goddamn diesel. it runs on e85 ethanol….made from corn or some other sugar producing plant material…which as someone else mentioned, it takes more energy to produce ethanol than it saves us in gas. its not earth friendly, its just renewable. when they have an electric version that charges itself by the sun…. THEN it will be special..or if it could run on straight oil from algae, which produces 10 times the oil in an acre than any seed crop. but now… its just an alcohol car… thats not new.

More motivation to become wealthy.

And Curly, “nobody will pay 1.5 million euros on something that runs on cooking oil.”

I would.

biofuels are hardly environmentally friendly, far more energy is used (and more pollution is created) to manufacture, and subsequently burned when using biofuels than standard fossil fuels. Not to mention the ethical issues behind raising the price of food for the hungry because we are making it into fuel.

the car is pretty sweet though!

The first CCX was a phenomenal car; I suppose an environmentally-friendly version is a good step.
