Now this is a car. It’s powered by solar energy only and still manages to seat four people while generating more energy over the course of a year than it uses to drive. Top speed: 125 km/h (77 mph). Range in its cloudy country of origin, the Netherlands: 1,000 km (621 miles). In sunny places: 1,100 km (684 miles). This October, the creation of the Eindhoven University of Technology will be competing in the Cruiser Class of the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge, a 3,000 km race through the Australian Outback.
