A chocolate Ferrari is a delicious image

ferrari-chocolate.jpg

Not everything in Goldcar has to be because a serious thing. We love humor, and the picture above is a little silly. For cavallino rampant and chocolate addicts this will make you salivate.

Apparently, the Pasticceri Italiani Club has used two tons of Belgian chocolate to produce are size model of the F2008.

As explained by Luigi Liberti, president of the FerrariNapoli Club  team, “it will be displayed until the end of the festival and then broken down with hammers and given to the attendees so they could take it home.”

The car, which is on display now in Sorrento, required that manufacturers to start melting the chocolate last year. It is coated with a layer sweetened bright red top layer totally edible and the wheels, seat and some accessories are pure solid chocolate. Delicious!

A three-wheeled electric car designed by Lotus

zap-alias.jpg

This beautiful picture is the latest prototype of the two-seater electric car, to be known as  ZAP Alias and that is being developed by the British firm Lotus.

One of the greatest curiosities of this vehicle is that it combines a sporty design with an ecological concept. What is most surprising is that the ZAP Alias runs on only three wheels.

 The most fascinating fact of all, is its possible final price, which amounts to 15,000 pounds (about 20,000 euros).

The ZAP Alias can reach a maximum speed of 241 kilometers per hour and its acceleration is spectacular, from 0 to 96 miles per hour at 5′7 seconds. Why is it so fast? Because it is equipped with two electric motors that supply power to both front wheels reaching 322 PS.

The advantage of electric motors for the environment are fascinating because they are absolutely ecological and do not produce gas emissions to the atmosphere.

The ZAP Alias will go on sale starting next year, but it is more than likely that the final sale date be delayed considerably.

coche-autoescuela.jpg

The recognition of foreign national drivers licences to those wishing to drive in Spain may be changed soon, specifically in the month of March.

The aim of the new legislation is to bring awareness among immigrants drivers to the Spanish legislation.

Currently, immigrants who wish to obtain their driving licence must fill out an application form, submit a medical certificate, another of no previous criminal record or administrative and pay the applicable rate. But now it will not be so easy.

In this regard, there are some countries where driving is a simple administrative task for which fees are paid, without the need for screening, such as in  India.

Thus, the validation of the driver’s license for immigrants whose home countries comply with the above description will have to comply with the Spanish driving laws.
