Coffee breath. The downfall of the modern man. And possibly the modern vehicle. The Carpuccino is a 1988 VW Scirocco which has been modified to run off of coffee. Apparently this bad boy will run three miles per kilogram of ground coffee, making it oddly similar to the run time of an average human being. That’s about 56 espressos a mile.
According to UK sources, driving the Carpuccino will cost about 50 times as much as it would cost to drive a standard fuel-powered vehicle. So while this might not be the optimal vehicle for the average man, we’d say the owner of Starbucks is pretty much set for life.
