Today, one of the world's fastest and most scrumptious bio-fuel cars was unveiled by University of Warwick scientists in London, and it runs on chocolate!
It can reach up to 145 miles per hour but only has been tested at 60 miles per hour so far.
Vegetable oils and chocolate waste fuel the car. Even the car body is made out of plant fibers, including potatoes. The seat is made from flax fibers and soybean oil foam, and the steering wheel is made from carrots and other root vegetable fibers.
It follows Formula 3 Racing criteria regulating the car's performance, size and weight. However, the criteria does not yet allow for a bio-fuel engine.
It will be displayed at this year's European Grand Prix and Britain's Goodwood Festival of Speed.
