\"\"September 20, 2010<\/em> – Kindred \u201cgreen\u201d spirits – the Principality of Monaco and Tesla Motors – will team up for two weeks, from October 7 through 18<\/strong>, when a unique environmental installation is displayed at the NYC showroom of the ground-breaking electric car maker, as part of 2010\u2019s Monaco Takes New York (MonacoTakesNewYork.com<\/a>) celebrations.<\/p>\n

The installation, a trio of customized cylinders that combine A\/V techniques including videos, printed text and a kaleidoscopic experience, relate the past, present and future of Monaco as a leading proponent of conservation with a long, proud legacy of environmental stewardship.<\/p>\n

Tesla Motors produces the Roadster, the only highway-capable electric performance vehicle. The handmade, carbon fiber Roadster is the only car that delivers supercar performance with zero tailpipe emissions. It accelerates from 0-100km in less than four seconds and consumes no petroleum. The Roadster plugs into any conventional socket and can travel over 380 kms on a single charge. It is the only sports car in the world that can be charged with solar, hydro or wind energy. The Roadster requires less routine maintenance than conventional cars. It does not need oil changes or exhaust system work. Roadsters have no spark plug or pistons to replace.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis partnership underscores a great synergy and joint commitment to the environment. Both Tesla and the Principality have demonstrated their dedication to \u201cgreen\u201d ideals and in more ways than one, ours is a harmonious union,\u201d said Maguy Maccario, consul general and vice president of the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation-USA.<\/p>\n

\u201cTesla Motors launched their Monaco operations last year. His Serene Highness Prince Albert II, a devoted car enthusiast and environmental champion joined CEO Elon Musk to cut the symbolic ribbon officially opening the showroom in November. The Monaco \u201cgreen gallery\u201d installation reflects many of our common goals and we are delighted Tesla has agreed to host it as part of this year\u2019s Monaco Takes New York<\/em> series of activities and events.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each cylinder features a unique mix of copy, graphic design, hi-res images, motion graphics, lighting and architectural elements which seamlessly project a cool image of a hot topic. A special video address by Prince Albert outlines his personal commitment to the preservation and conservation of the world\u2019s natural environment and the international mission of The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation.<\/p>\n

An \u201cinspirational\u201d HD-DVD showing present day Monaco, spotlights this country with a conscience. The kaleidoscope animation was designed by the talented Hollywood-based special effects team who worked on such feature films as Spider- Man<\/em> and The Incredible Hulk<\/em>. A short, futuristic \u201ceco-doco\u201d called Climate: A Crisis Averted<\/em> from Free Range Studios gives hope, through humor, to future generations that the present custodians of the planet will make concerted efforts towards preservation and conservation.<\/p>\n

An initiative of the Consulate General of Monaco and the Monaco Government Tourist Office in New York, the gallery was launched in New York City in September 2008 and exhibited at The Field Museum of Natural History in Stanley Field Hall the following month.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
