Neil Young's Hybrid Lincoln Continental

The Independent:

"Immensely stylish with a wide front grille and neo-deco bumpers at either end, it is one the most polluting vehicles to have ever graced Route 66 ... Neil Young is taking the car he calls Linc-Volt to Wichita, where it will be converted into a 100mph diesel-electric hybrid running on renewable fuel. Motor enthusiasts say it is like putting a Toyota Prius on steroids."

Neil Young: "It works off the grid – you plug it in at night. So it has very low emissions and a lot more power. It's a lot faster – it does 0-60 in six seconds. It's part of the spirit of the country. America is never going to be frugal. It's too big; the roads are long, the people are big, they like big cars. So there's a challenge to figure out how to retain all those things and be clean."
