The WorldFirst project has created the Vegetable Car, the worlds first Formula 3 green race car with a steering wheel made of carrot-based polymer, wing mirrors made of potatoes, and a biodiesel engine which runs on “waste chocolate.” Sounds amazing right? And delicious. Look at it go:
The car was used by the WorldFirst Racing Team, a project of the University of Warwick’s UK-based Warwick Innovative Manufacturing Research Centre (WIMRC), with hopes that they can prove to the automotive industry that designing and building an environmentally sustainable competition level race car is possible.
