This bizarre capsule is a BICYCLE - and it could be the fastest in history, reaching 90mph by pedal-power alone
It's 40 times more aerodynamic than a Bugatti Veyron, has a top speed of 90mph (145kph), and generates enough power to light the average home.
And while it might not look anything like it, this strange design is in fact a pedal-powered bike enclosed in a aerodynamic carbon fibre shell.
Dubbed the Arion1 Velocipede, the bike is being designed by a team of UK engineering students who believe it will become the fastest human-powered vehicle in history.
The University of Liverpool Velocipede Team (ULVT) are hoping their design will break the 83.13 mph (133.7kph) record set in September 2013 by TU Delft and VU Amsterdam universities.
Arion1 will be designed, manufactured and ready to race by May 2015, and will attempt the record in September 2015 at the World Human Power Speed Challenge in Battle Mountain, Nevada.
