Poo-powered Volkswagen Beetle - The Bio Bug

Methane as a source of automotive propulsion isn't rocket science, and probably doesn't come up on the list of 'favourite alternative fuels' and certainly baffled car manufacturers for a long time how to use it.. Green company GENeco thinks they have figured it out and has presented this Volkswagen Beetle as proof of concept. Dubbed the "Bio-Bug," it basically runs on human excrement, literally.

Watch this video as the guys from Translogic takes you on an outrageous ride. This Beetle's 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine has been converted to run on methane gas produced by human excrement and can still top 183km/h. The whole poo-powered car may sound like a joke, but its performance certainly is not.
