MT Racing's Fahrradi Farfalla FFX may appear to be a super speedy racing car from the exterior, but upon closer inspection it turns out to be a luxury automobile powered by the pedaling of two internal bike wheels.
The utmost in opulent, eco-friendly transportation, the vehicle was modeled after several popular cars in the Ferrari line-up, and would certainly garner some respect from onlookers. That is, until it was left in the dust when someone on the road decided to have an impromptu drag race with the driver of the four-wheeled bike.
While the vessel looks pretty cool, thanks to its slick race-car-red paint job and suicide doors on either side, it certainly won't be winning any land speed records anytime soon, or getting its driver anywhere fast.
