We do know that owning a Ferrari would mean you have made it in life,
more or less. After all, the Italian company does come up with some of
the best supercars in the world, but as we all know, supercars are far
from green – even if Ferrari promises a hybrid model to arrive later in
2013. Well, here is the greenest “supercar” yet – the Fahrradi Farfalla FFX
that will break one speed record by Ferrari – it is the slowest
“supercar” yet. Why do we say so? For starters, Austrian artist Hannes
Langwelder decided to swap its V12 gas engine and replace that with a
set of pedals. No need to pull up at any gas station here, but it also
means arriving at your destination after sweating it out.
“Fahrradi” is German for “bicycle,” while “Farfalla” translates to
“butterfly” in Italian, so the mixture known as the Fahrradi Farfalla
FFX tips the scales at just 220 pounds, sporting a pedal powertrain that
has 11 gears. Gotta love the gullwing doors that resemble a wing beat
similar to a butterfly. While this is the slowest “supercar” to date, it
is by no means the cheapest. After all, it has a whopping $1.6 million
price tag attached to it, now how about that?
For those who are interested, the Fahrradi Farfalla FFX is currently
on display at the LENTOS Museum of Art in Linz, Austria. I do wonder
just who is going to drop that kind of insane money on a “car” that does
not even drive. You can cruise down busy roads in this though, pedaling
furiously inside while others on the outside think that you are just
trying to show off by driving slowly on purpose, when it is a very
different story inside. Definitely able to draw in the chicks, but when
they get into the car, boy are they going to be surprised to see that it
is not going to rev anywhere near a red line, but rather, there is the
dank smell and stench of sweat that they are so familiar with at gyms.
