The World's Smallest Solar Racing Car
Posted Sunday, Aug 17, 2008 by american
The World's Smallest Solar Racing Car is a fully functional solar vehicle that is topped with a miniscule solar panel that amazingly generates enough electricity to turn run a small electric motor with four wheels attached. Measuring only 33x22x14 millimeters, it can run on solar power alone, or even on the light of a strong indoor source.
We think that it makes a great showcase for solar technology, and though it is definitely too bite-size to let small babies or toddlers play with, it serves as a fun example of future-forward design for the next generation and possibly the greener gadget geniuses in our midst.
Enter the World's Smallest Solar Racing Car - certainly too small to be a flashy Formula One kiddie vehicle or even drivable for that matter, but what this Lilliputian roadster lacks in size, it totally makes up for in power - real green zip power - not to mention full-throttle cuteness!

Circuit de la Sarthe and The Green Hell are a start. They have absolutely beautiful straights where this thing *might* make it half way through it's final gear.

Second of all, COOL! I didn't know that there was an auto exec who saw the same light i did as far as plug-in hybrids: they don't make any sense!
