GRAND PRIX-INSPIRED ESPRESSO MACHINE

This may look like a monster car engine that will leave petrol heads in a spin, but it is in fact a rather snazzy looking COFFEE MACHINE. The new invention has given the phrase a coffee-to-go a whole new meaning. And with a £9,000 price tag, a shot of espresso from this machine is sure to wake you up and keep you running on all cylinders all day. Italian inventor Paolo Mastrogiuseppe, 40, was the brains behind the project, which is his tribute to the Grand Prix engines of the nineties… The iconic machine is made in South Africa and comes in V12 and V10 configurations. But it is a limited edition masterpiece as only 500 of them are being made
