    For the Earth-concious billionaire: A million dollar electric sports car

    Ultra-expensive luxury vehicles aren't exactly known as being fuel efficient. The Bugatti Veyron, for example, gets a shameful 10 miles per gallon. The Rimac Concept_One sports car wants to shake up those preconceptions — it's an electric sports car that puts other electric vehicles to shame by virtually every measure other than price. That's the only catch: This two-door beast will set you back just under $1 million. But hey, if you're going to spend a million dollars on a sports car, it might as well be Earth-friendly.

    As you'd expect, the Concept_One is blazing fast — it boasts a top speed of 190 mph, and can accelerate to 62 mph in 2.8 seconds. Where this supercar really shines, though, is in its range. According to Rimac, the 1,066 hp engine can power the Concept_One for a full 372 miles on a single charge, nearly double the range of the bargain-priced SIM-Lei Japanese concept car.

    Only 88 of these electric vehicles are being made, so if you want one, you'd better act fast. After all, getting the paperwork done on that second, third, and fourth mortgage so you can afford the $980,000 price tag is going to take some time.
