![Quintet – boldly fly your starship through the galaxy with your friends [Freeware]](http://www.redferret.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/quintet3-270x190.jpg)
This £200,000 Chocolate Powered Racing Car really takes the biscuit. No seriously, you know we’ve hit crunch time when this kind of tech makes the front pages. And if they can unwrap something like this, why can’t they produce my flying bar? OK, so it’s a fabulous idea, and not as nuts as it sounds, but apparently the designers are saying the technology won’t see light of day in the mass market for a few years yet. In case it melts or something we assume. [That’s enough! – Ed]
Meet Lola, the England’s [sic] University of Warwick’s blend of muscle and eco-friendliness and the world’s first racing car retrofitted with renewable and sustainable materials…Fueled by leftover chocolate and with components made from carrots, potato starch and flax, the world’s first sustainable Formula 3 racing car has a top speed of 135 miles per hour and can go from zero to 60 in 2.5 seconds.
