I found this article from England this morning.
Several British universities conspired to make a green race car. They unveiled the car, named Lola, at MIT in Boston last week. Fueled by leftover chocolate and with components made from carrots, potato starch and flax, the worlds first sustainable Formula 3 racing car has a top speed of 135 mph and can go from zero to 60 in 2.5 seconds.
Among Lola's other unique features is a radiator that converts ozone back to oxygen.
"It's a racing car that cleans up as it goes along," said Steve Maggs, a member of the design team.
The Worlds First Formula 3 racing car took the university more than nine months to develop and cost around $200,000.
A green race car that will do 135 mph, that’s pretty cool, but I’m was wondering where they are going to find “leftover” chocolate. That is absolutely an oxymoron here at this palapa.
