Solar Fern achieves credible top speed - even before the low drag body shell is fitted

Our wind tunnel tested, ultra low drag bodyshell will have 6 times less drag than the open framework without the body shell, and 10 times less drag than a typical small car, yet our powerfull electric motor has still pushed the car to an impressive 72 kph in testing.

With the bodyshell fitted, the same power will push the Solar Fern to over 120 kph, or climb the steepest hill in the race at a steady 70 kph.

And this is only limited by the cheap lead batteries we are using in testing. Our new Lithium batteries will easilly double the power and save 90kg of weight - but we need your support to get them!

[Batteries are required in solar cars to climb hills and keep going when the sun is not strong. - We charge them from the solar panels whenever we stop or when the sun is strong.]
