The Ferdinand GT3 RS currently on display at Austria’s Museum of Modern Art Linz is the lightest Porsche ever. It’s also the greenest, the shiniest, and, well, probably the goofiest.
Built using a cardboard and PVC tube frame with an aluminium foil skin, the Ferdinand GT3 RS weighs a scant 220 pounds (100kg).
The vehicle features skinny, low-rolling resistance bicycle wheels and tires that are driven, not by an exotic flat six-cylinder or a hybrid drivetrain, but by pedal power supplied by the driver’s legs.
Not only is the Ferdinand GT3 RS the lightest Porsche ever; it’s also the only zero-emissions Porsche—unless you count the various gases generated by the pedaling driver.
