According to a report on the website of the French newspaper Le Figaro on July 6, two Canadian engineers installed the bathtub in a convertible car. The finished product may be displayed at the Utah Motor Show in August. By then, they hope to create a world record for the speed of the 'bathtub sports car' per hour.
Not every idea and idea in college can be realized, and most of them fall into the sea. However, it is different for Duncan (weibo) Foster and Phil Weikel. In 1996, the two were still college students. They found an abandoned Chevrolet Maibao in the school parking lot. So they decided to convert it into a 'bath sports car'. A few months later, they built the first car bathtub.
The car immediately won the favor of the local people, and a California association asserted that they must not drive at the car show held on the Bonneville Salt Flats. Every year, in the Salt Lake area of u200bu200bUtah, USA, a grand automotive industry conference is held (including all finished products such as high-speed racing cars, car prototypes, portable toilets, mechanical sofas, etc.). Despite many attempts, the first version of the 'Bathtub Sports Car' was only approved by the conference in 2004.
Many years have passed. Two old friends reunited in California and decided to start their 'adventure journey' again. **The original Chevrolet Maibao has been replaced by a Renault Coupe DeVille. It will take them six years to refit the car: a steering wheel and two manual controllers are installed on the left side of the driver. To drive the car or slow down, there are barrels of water of about 39 degrees in the car, and this water is heated by the car’s engine.
Duncan Foster and Phil Weikel have never been closer to their original dreams than they are now. Prior to this, they had already reached a speed of 100 mph. At the upcoming exhibition in August, they hope to increase the speed to 160km/h. However, the two engineers are currently unable to make ends meet, so they decided to adopt the method of fundraising, they hope to collect 10,000 US dollars. The two explained on their website, 'Overcoming difficulties and making ourselves happy is the most lofty goal of our lives.' Although they will encounter many obstacles, they are still able to overcome the difficulties and reward their efforts over the past eighteen years.
