Bet the exhaust smells great
Last month we told you about Prince Charles' plan to convert his Aston Martin to run on surplus wine. A noble experiment, but what about something more high-test? That's fallen to the folks at the Bruichladdich distillery on Islay, who just propelled a race car from 0-60 in 3.5 seconds with a tank full of X4 Scotch, billed as the most alcoholic single malt ever made. (The car, a British-made Radical SR4, was piloted by Top Gear's James May and wine expert Oz Clark for an upcoming segment on their BBC series Oz and James' Great British Adventure.) Of course, at around $200 a gallon, it's not exactly the most cost-efficient fuel out there, but the fumes are heavenly.
