So it is possible to get a sub 150k "hypercar" that does Green Hell in under 7 minutes to get better than 30mpg :O

That is exactly what I haven't done :D It seems Strop is a lot like Clarkson sometimes - "If i do 400 kph I spend less time burning fuel during my journey - thus ECONOMY!" :D

Fine, I'll raise you! Let's see Clarkson get 40mpg in his 400km/h hypercar!!!

(Hint: when 40mpg you are trying to attain in a hypercar, maximum power output is kind of limited. I had to pull out all the tricks in the book to get 40mpg in a car that goes around the ring in under 7 minutes. Barely.)

Re: The Efficient Future - Make the Best of it Competition

I can get a sub-10 minute Green Hell time with 100+ MPG costing less than 100k. In 2016. I have a few cars to choose from for this competition, the hard part is deciding which one.

A true ultimate sports car for the 2020s, the most driveable and economical hypercar to ever come from GG! Have they taken leave of their senses?

That said, I highly doubt my car will be nearly as 'green' as others. I'm just pleased it uses less gas than my current real daily drive.
