I remember talking/mentioning this in the "Pub" a month or so ago (or was it longer? ... hmmmm) Anyways, Fifth Gear has taken the Ethanol Powered Lotus Exige for a spin.

0-60: under 4 seconds
270HP (more power than the Exige S)
fuel milage... not as good as gasoline, but they still got 25MPG under "normal" driving.

So far, it's been dubbed "the world's fastest ethanol powered car".
