BMW has designed a hydrogen powered salt flat racer based on the premise of Reuse (instead of recycle) for the 2008 LA Auto Show Design Challenge competition.
BMW have tried to make the BMW Hydrogen Salt Flat Racer concept as environmentally friendly as possible by using existing, ordinary, and mundane materials, such as old oil barrels and barbeque lids, as main components for the body and wheel discs of the vehicle.

Friendly, whimsical and sustainable, the concept employs goldfish as “co-pilots” or “canaries-in-a-coal mine” to ensure that the vehicle is running clean emissions (if your fish get sick, you must be running “rich”).

The wheels are gel-nylon for necessary flex, allowing tires to be airless and re-vulcanized or re-treaded.
