A new environmentally-friendly racing car, made of vegetables and powered by chocolate, will be launched next month. The car, named ecoF3, has a steering wheel made of carrots, a body made of potatoes and a seat made of soybeans. And the cool thing is that it will be able to travel at 145 miles per hour speed. Can you believe this?
Developed at the University of Warwick's Innovative Manufacturing Research Centre, the WorldFirst vehicle is the first Formula 3 racing car designed and made from sustainable and renewable materials. It uses plant-oil based lubricants and a biodiesel engine capable of running on chocolate and vegetable oil.
Due to use of the unusual fuel, the car engine failed to meet the current regulations for racing cars. But the designers of the car hope that the technology used in their environmentally-friendly racing car will be adopted by Formula 1 teams such as McLaren and Ferrari. With it's launch next month, this odd racing car will prove that environmentally friendly car is not necessarily a slow car.
