These Polish guys built a genius Bugatti Chiron that you can pedal to accelerate.
It’s essentially a four-wheeled bike with a car exterior.
So it’s not quite a speed demon, but it is a great workout.
This is the work of Foton Automotive, and it certainly got a lot of attention out on the street.

This Bugatti Chiron is more of a ‘Bike-atti Chiron’
A video was shared on Instagram showing two guys pedaling along inside the shell of a Bugatti Chiron.
It almost looked like a kid’s car, except it was, you know, a Bugatti Chiron.
As you might expect, people on the street around them were standing in awe, and many had pulled out their phones to film the unusual sight.


When a video of the quirky creation made its way to Instagram, everyone had something to say about it.
Many people noted that this Chiron was a little friendlier for the wallet.
“The only Bugatti we can afford,” one person joked.
“I can afford a Bugatti just like that,” another said.
Forget about horsepower, this car was all about human power.

It was a step above a Flintstones-style car, admittedly, which we have seen before, just without the foot power.
Cars with pedals – will these catch on?
It’s been a long while since many of us have used pedals to operate a car.
But some cars do make use of them in a roundabout way – this tiny EV reaches a top speed of 75mph and is charged using pedals.

And don’t forget the velomobile that broke land records with nothing but pedal power.
Who would have thought all those spinning classes at the gym would prepare you for driving a car?
