When the first Fast and the Furious movie came out the world was introduced to the automotive tuning scene which at that point had already been out years and years before. Now that everyone from back then till now has been swapping motors, installing turbos, installing NOS, rims, body kits, and etc. The gas crisis and the on going economy let down has sparked a new trend, Eco Tuning.
Fast is not lasting in today's world. High-end European auto makers have been releasing concepts of fun high mile per gallon(MPG) cars. A perfect example is the new Rinspeed E2 based off the new Fiat 500.
The car boasts a new body kit, paintjob, and engine tune. The car(at the touch of a button) can get 60MPG and without touching that button you can still get 30MPG at full throttle. Rinspeed is aware that this new Eco tuning trend has not caught on but wants to be one of the automakers to officially enter the market with such a vehicle.
