Knitted Ferrari

August 23, 2008

This Ferrari was knitted by 22 year old art student Lauren Porter from London England. It took her 10 Months to complete. Better her than me, I don’t know if I would have the patience to have spent that much time, unless of course you coud stick a motor in it and take off down the street.

At 40 million pounds (about 80 million USD or 50.5 million EUR), gas turbine motors put out 17,000 hp, it weighs 95 tons and it will do 75 mph (121 kph)… it’s probably owned by a Banker or property developer.

It’s sad that inventions such as this are more likely to get support, if they have a military application, rather than provide a service… say like helping the countless thousands of paraplegics.
