Carpuccino runs on coffee
March 9, 2010
For many of us, it is a nice, hot cup of coffee that keeps us going through the day, which strangely decent is the same case for the Carpuccino that you see above. What used to be a standard 1988 Volkswagen Scirocco is now a coffee-powered car, but mileage isn't that ideal (and a waste of good coffee, we might add) since it requires 56 espressos for a without mile. It will run on any sort as lengthy as the coffee is very dry and comes in a pellet scheme factor that enables the air to move through the pile of coffee as it burns.

Snaefell hybrid bike car
November 23, 2009
The Snaefell hybrid bike car by François Knorreck is a handcrafted vehicle that took 10,000 man hours to produce alongside €15,000 in funds, merging a Laverda motorcycle alongside a custom-built carbon fiber and polyester sidecar. The sidecar’s parts were taken from a variety of vehicles such as a Volkswagen Golf GTI, a Citroen Xantia and an Audi 80. Running on the Laverda’s 1000cc engine, you get a gull-wing door on the sidecar alongside a car seat with seat belts.
