世界上首款用残余巧克力做燃料，用胡萝卜、土豆淀粉和亚麻布等材料制成的F3赛车于近日问世。这款赛车最高时速可达135英里，能在2.5秒内起步加速至60英里，并且绝对环保。据介绍，这款赛车名为罗拉，是由英国华威大学的研究人员耗时9个多月，投入20万美元研制出来的。这款赛车的大部分材料都可以在集贸市场或垃圾堆里找到，报废后可以被埋入任何一个垃圾填埋点，不会对环境造成任何污染。另外，它的散热器还能在运行过程中把臭氧转换为氧气，因此，可以说是一款“自己污染、自行清理”的赛车。[文章版权禁止转载:考试与评价 http://www.trgroup.com.cn/te/ IMj7~30?sR~u;jZ FroG]
