By shifting the solar panel inside the aerodynamically designed shell, Cambridge University students have upped the ante on the
October’s World Solar Challenge, a gruelling four-day-long, 3,000km race across the Australian Outback from Darwin in the north to Adelaide in the south.

The radical change in approach is expected to give the car a cruisng speed of about 85 kmph.

    Just checked it . The line actuators will play a main role in increasing efficiency.The shape is designed well to get best speed of 33km and a single recharge could cover more distance.
