GB110

Legendary Italian design house Bertone has developed a powerful hypercar that runs on fuel made from plastic waste.  And it moves with tremendous speed and power. It's called the GB110 and it is the world's first hypercar to be fueled by plastic waste, which makes it an extraordinary car concept.  The vehicle is a statement for clean, green driving and also marks Bertone's 110th anniversary in business.  Only 33 of the state-of-the-art, high-performance vehicles will be produced.  

New Clean Fuel

The biggest headline about this new car concept is that it runs on clean, green fuel.  Bertone partnered with Nevada-based Select Fuel to develop a way to convert plastic waste (polycarbonate) into a renewable fuel.  And despite the vehicle's very high-performance numbers, the plastic waste fuel is in full compliance with the latest Euro 6 emissions regulations.  The vehicle is equipped with a combustion engine.  Bertone hasn't provided details on the engine's specifics.  But with GB110 Bertone is making a strong environmental impact statement that plastic waste needs to be used as a valuable resource.  Also, that you can fuel a powerful sports car without polluting the environment.

Tech Specs

The elegant and powerful Italian sports car packs 1100 hp and 811 lb-ft of torque. It can sprint from 0 to 62 mph in 2.79 seconds.  The car's top speed is 236 mph.  It can accelerate to 186 mph in just 6.4 seconds.  It has 7-speed transmission and all-wheel drive capabilities. There are anti-roll bars with 4-way dampening adjustment, which give it great functional capabilities.  And there are very impressive design details, including:

• Aerodynamic sculptured body
• LED lights connected by an aerodynamic bridge
• 3-dimensional curvy body panels
• Broadly curving front
• Huge front splitter and rear diffuser
• Scissor doors.

The GB110 is a standout new concept for Italian styling and its sports car performance.  But the big story is that it's a hypercar fueled solely by plastic waste.
