Radical New Aerodynamic Design of te Cambridge Solar Car

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.
