Brilliant minds at Stanford have been working on it for two years and the fruition is more than a sweet dream. It is the world’s fastest all-solar car ever. Called Xenith, this speedster is all set to cover the Australian outback solely on solar power. The structure consists of a huge panel exposed to the sun with an obscure drivers seat.
This was a part of the preparation for the World Solar Challenge which is a 3000 km race from Darwin to Adelaide. Taking place between October 16-23, this race is conducted every two years and is vital in encouraging inventors and engineers to improve and perfect solar technology.
The rules of the race include a stipulated time period for conceptualizing a solar vehicle design thereby pushing boundaries and expanding the scope of solar technology innovations. This Solar Challenge not only drives forth new era motor inventions but also packs in the fun and thrill of an all-out race. So sit back and get ready to behold one of the fastest Solar cars speeding through the Australian outback.
