New meaning to "Green" cars

Race car designers in Britain have designed an entirely organic vehicle. This car has a steering wheel made of carrots, a body made of potatoes and a seat made from soybeans. It uses plant-oil based lubricants and a biodiesel engine that can run on chocolate and vegetable oil . (What a waste of chocolate though!) The car was created by Warwick University's WorldFirst team and they hope it leads the way to other environmentally friendly race cars. And yes it is suppose to be as fast as the other race cars. Sounds tastey.
