If you're worried about spiralling fuel costs, this could be the car for you.

The Ferdinand GT3 RS could pass for a standard Porsche 911 GT3 RS from a distance and returns a fairly impressive ∞mpg and CO2 emissions of just 0g/km.

This is because, below its shiny exterior, the Ferdinand GT3 RS is nothing more than a bicycle.

And because it's being powered by you, it will run on pretty much anything edible -- cheese, chocolate, Lobster Thermidor -- you name it.

The Ferdinand GT3 RS is the work of the bonkers Austrian artist Hannes Langeder, the man famous for creating the equally bonkers and equally pedal-powered Fahrradi Farfalla FXX.

Take a look at the photos below to see how the Ferdinand was created and to see a video of the car in action.
