IND - World's first basketball car

BOMBAY (Basketball car) - In case you thought a basketball could roll only in court, think again. K. Sudhakar, the Guinness World Record holder for making the largest tricycle has come up with another wacky innovation - a car in the shape of a basketball.
 
India's national newspaper ‘The Hindu' reported on 13th November that it took Mr. Sudhakar ten months to make this car. Speaking to reporters at its unveiling ceremony in Hyderabad in India, he said, "It is a complete car with suspension, headlights, taillights and indicators." The car weighs 450 kg and 2,000 US$ were spent in its making.
 
The car, made of metal, is painted in brown and black. It is a single-seater with a 135cc engine and can touch 60 kmph. It was unveiled by basketball players of Harlem Globetrotters from the US. They were in town to promote their three games against New York Nationals at Gachibowli Indoor Stadium. Mr. Sudhakar will soon be launching a tennis ball car to cheer Sania Mirza before the Asian Hopman Cup in the city.
 
Mike St. Julien, a basketball player wants to take one home, "I think it's beautiful, I like it and I want to take it home with me," he told the ‘Hindu'.
