Efforts by racing sanctioning bodies to encourage green technology are fostering a new breed of performance hybrids; exotic new alternate fuels could enable high-output plug-ins; and hypermiling hybrids will provide the necessary CAFÉ cover to allow manufacturers to produce hyper-horsepower conventional sportscars.
