Clooney's Tango 'embarrassing'

July 8, 2008

Los Angeles - George Clooney is embarrassed by his eco-friendly car.

The Michael Clayton actor - who drives a electric one-seater Tango car - says the vehicle is not only embarrassing in terms of its appearance, it also means he can't drive any of his friends anywhere.

He said: "It can be embarrassing. There's nowhere to hide, because it's just me behind the wheel and there isn't enough space for anyone else."

"But it goes from zero to 100km/h in four seconds, which is faster than virtually any other car on the road, so I can take off with a burst of speed if I get too many insults."

George also revealed he is upgrading the Tango for a Tesla Roadster, which should be arriving later this year.

He added: "Teslas are like Ferraris - it's going to make less of a dent on my pride than the Tango! And I can take passengers which means I can make friends again!"

I just saw one of those Tango's or something similar if it wasn't one Sunday. Shoot I would drive one, I'm not that proud. That car would fit in the back of my S-10, I could use it as a spare LOL
