This Is The Race Car Everyone Wants To Beet
This is the ultimate green machine, surely. A UK university student has virtually grown a 240km/h car from seed. One-seater racing car Eco One has tyres made of potatoes, brake pads from ground cashew shells and a body created from hemp and rapeseed oil. It runs on fuel made from fermented wheat and sugar beet. Powered by the engine from a Triumph Daytona motorcycle, Eco One does 0-100km/h in under four seconds. It will be on display at the National Science Museum in London from August 28 to 30.
FOOTNOTE: British racing green, innit?
