Transportation designer Olcay Tuncay has quite the idea. You know how wind causes aerodynamic drag while racing? How about we just harness that wind and use it to generate energy?! The Alfa Romeo AW30 is a futuristic concept Grand Prix racer that runs on wind-power. The engine, says the designer, is started using a solar-powered battery. Post ignition, wind power takes over as the air is channeled into the car body and is harnessed to power the 284 horsepower motor that sits inside this magnificent vehicle!
