A chocolate-powered biodegradable car could be one of the world’s fastest green fuel vehicles, its creators hope.
Scientists from the University of Warwick believe their design could reach speeds of 145mph and give manufacturers ideas about how to build more ecologically-friendly vehicles.
The car runs on a biofuel that uses vegetable oils and waste from chocolate factories. Built to Formula 3 specifications in size, weight, and performance, the vehicle’s steering wheel is made out of plant-based fibres derived from carrots and other root vegetables, while the seat is built of flax fibre and soybean oil foam. The body is also made of plant fibres.
The team will be testing their theories on a racetrack in a few weeks’ time. They have already taken the bio-car to speeds of 60mph and are preparing final adjustments to the engine before driving it at top speed.
Warwick’s project manager, James Meredith, said the design is proof that it is possible to build a fast, efficient, environmentally-friendly car.
The car, named the WorldFirst Formula 3 racing car, will go on display at several races including the European Grand Prix and the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

A new government campaign has been launched to highlight the dangers of texting while driving after figures revealed that one in three young motorists text at the wheel.
The THINK! campaign, launched by road safety minister Jim Fitzpatrick, will include a new radio advert that is particularly targeted at young drivers. It will feature a driver’s voice spelling out a text message followed by the sound of a car crash.
Around 12% of all drivers admit to texting while driving, despite figures showing that 93% believe it is unacceptable and dangerous.
Other measures forming part of the initiative include an online driving game which shows how a driver is distracted when using a mobile phone at the wheel.
An old television advert will also be reintroduced to remind people to “kill the conversation” as soon as they realise that someone is driving while on the phone.
Jim Fitzpatrick said that texting while driving means motorists cannot be giving the road their full attention.
He warned that drivers are needlessly risking their own life and the lives of others by mixing mobile phones and driving.
“Our message to all drivers is simple: Don’t use your mobile phone when you’re driving,” he added.
