World's Fastest Solar Car
The record was broken in the IVy by Barton Mawer and Craig Davis of Tesla Europe, the drivers selected by Sunswift to complete the task. IVy normally uses its cells to charge a 25kg battery, but this was removed for the record attempt. The record was broken at 10:32 in the morning and the team was expecting peak Sun at the noon. The team is satisfied with their performance and that the car achieved record speed much before the expected time. The team wishes that this news will help spreading awareness about use of non-conventional energy throughout the world and also attract attention to solar powered vehicles.
