The British have built an ecoF3 racing car which has a steering wheel made from carrots, a bodywork crafted from potatoes and a soya bean seat.
When they set out to make a “green” and eco friendly racing vehicle I never imagined that they would be able to achieve such success. They even used oil-based lubricants to grease the engines moving parts.
I am sure you must be wondering by now how they have devised this green machine to get its go power. What does this car run on? Nothing other than chololate extracts and vegetable oil. I am guessing that it is the chololate that gives it the extra boost.
Remember, the ecoF3 is a racing car, has hit speeds of 145 mph, but due to the current fuel requirements it is not eligible to race as it does not meet current regulations.
Who was responsible for the project of building such a unique concept racing car? None other than James Meredith who is with World First team from Warwick University located in Coventry, West Mids. He was the project manager who designed and built the car.
This is a remarkable break through of the technology that we have. However, this seems to say to me that you do not have to compromise performance when making an eco friendly vehicle. As you and I cannot drive a race car to work, I look forward to seeing what will be developed that will be street legal.
If you are already aware of new eco vehicles that are street legal, please let me know about them. I would like to hear from you.
