The World's Fastest Chocolate? The Chocolate-Fueled Race Car!

Talk about dark chocolate and vitality....



From the Associated Press, British scientists revealed a most amazing creation - a race car fueled by chocolate! Here's an excerpt from Meera Selva's article about this groundbreaking machine:

"The car runs on vegetable oils and chocolate waste that has been turned into biofuel. The steering wheel is made out of plant-based fibers derived from carrots and other root vegetables, and the seat is built of flax fibre and soybean oil foam. The body is also made of plant fibers.
Scientists at the University of Warwick say their car is the fastest to run on biofuels and also be made from biodegradable materials. It has been built to Formula 3 specifications about the car's size, weight, and performance."
