It goes from 0 to 60 mph in under six seconds and reaches a top speed of 130 mph. Known as the Advantige R, it was developed by a Swiss manufacturer. The car runs on kompagas, a renewable fuel made from rotting greenery and household waste. Tests have shown 220 pounds of smelly vegetation will power the car for 62 miles. Start saving that leftover salad.
