The car is made from woven flax, recycled carbon fibre, recycled resin and carrot pulp for the steering wheel. It runs on biofuel made from chocolate and animal fats and is lubricated with plant oils. But it's not just an environmentally friendly car, it is also fast. The car has a top speed of 135 mph, can achieve 0-60 in 2.5 seconds and is turbo charged to give it more torque.

Having got the seal of approval from drivers such as Lewis Hamilton and Adam Carroll as well as F1 team boss Ross Brawn, the car will make its first competitive debut in the Formula 3 Championship final at Brands Hatch on 17th October. The team hope to prove that high performance, competitive cars can be built from sustainable materials.

According to Dr Kirwan the idea behind the project is to show that: "being sustainable and green can be incredibly sexy, fun and fast." He goes on to say that even though people's perception of motorsport is that it's wasteful, this project is "aiming to show ways for the future, for people to race and be green."

On the eve of the Frankfort Auto Show we present the Flying Carrot. A.k.a.the WorldFirst, it won't be at the world-famous auto show, but it will be very environmental. Built partly from vegetables and powered by chocolate, it may be the greenest car ever.

It is hoped that it will reach 150mph when it hits the track at Brands Hatch The 250 horsepower, one-seater racing car has been built by researchers at the Univ.of Warwickto show people that 'green' motoring doesn't mean dull.

Willy Wonka, eat your heart out. The University of Warwick is testing a Formula 3 race car that is powered by chocolate. Cocoa sented exaust---- yum!

The WorldFirst race car is built mainly from potatoes and the race-legal steering wheel is made from carrots and other veggies. The seat is made with soybean-oil foam and covered with a flax fiber weave. This is the first Formula 3 racing car made from renewable and sustainable materials.

The car can reach speeds of 125mph around corners and will be hitting a race track later this week. Unfortunately, Formula 3 cars can't race on biodiesel, which is the only thing that keeps this car from meeting all Formula 3 racing standards. Guess I'll have to wait for licorice tires.

This is an excellent example of how cars, race boats and more can be safe for our enviroment. This biodiesel engine runs on waste chocolate and vegetable oil. Waste chocolate? Is there really such a thing? Bad chocolate is better than no chocolate, right?
