Eco concept car: Ferdinand GT3 RS

DoYouReadMe?! — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 08:56:12 +0000

In a time of oil spill deluxe it is always good to notice that this makes us humans think about alternatives. A movement that is moulded more and more into shape is the eco friendly car industry. And maybe this next concept is not the answer, but it sure is funny. Meet the Porsche look-a-like Ferdinand GT3 RS…

Based around the design of a Porsche 911, the Ferdinand GT3 RS could well be the slowest Porsche around. The vehicle has been crafted from aluminum foil, cardboard and a cycle cart to make its weight more manageable for its new pedal-powered engine. The builder of this grand vehicle is German artist Johannes Ferdinand.

Check out the making of pics and the hilarious video.

Watch the Ferdinand in action!

DoYouReadMe?! — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 08:24:14 +0000

Although it is not very likely to find any posts on Comic Sans -a typefont- on this website, this is one of sheer brilliance! It is a short story by Comic Sans ‘in person’, getting back on all the haters.
