This is the super-sleek shape a British team hopes can bring it glory in next year’s World Solar Challenge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 3,000km race through the Australian desert, from Darwin to Adelaide, is the classic test for innovators trying to push the boundaries of what is possible with a Sun-powered vehicle.<\/p>\n

Solar Team Great Britain<\/a> will be entering the event’s Cruiser Class, which puts the emphasis on practicality as well as efficiency.<\/p>\n

The cars must carry passengers.<\/p>\n

They cannot simply be some pencil-thin, ultra design that only a driver can squeeze into through a removable cockpit canopy.<\/p>\n

“Cruiser Class<\/a> is about two or more seats. It’s about a practical car,” said Steven Heape, who leads the team of volunteers behind Solar Team Great Britain.<\/p>\n

“In many ways, it’s the class that goes back to the roots of the competition. It was envisaged as a design competition for cars that could run on the Sun, but extrapolating that forwards it meant we would ultimately get to the productionisation of solar vehicles.”<\/p>\n
