356 Replica Makes it Easy to Be Green

By John

Sure, PGO Auto’s Cvennes Turbo-CNG looks pretty. It’s a 356 replica, how could it not? But it’s the fact that it runs on compressed natural gas which makes it so drop-dead sexy. The green machine puts out a respectable 155 horsepower from its turbo 1.6 liter four-banger, and with a presumably low curb weight, performance shouldn’t be an issue. The company hasn’t decided whether to actually bring the car into production yet, so reaction from the crowds at the Geneva Auto Show will probably determine its fate. Here’s hoping the brass likes what they hear. More at Winding Road.

I don’t know about the drop-dead sexy thing. Wouldn’t seem so sexy if you’re stuck at a gas station, with no clue where to fill this thing with natural gas.

Of course, if there’s a fill port in the middle of the driver’s seat, a grande meal at Taco Bell could take me hundreds of miles.

The car is cute, except the roof which looks just plain stupid.
