I especially like this designs shape : 
But then you have stuff like this that makes you scratch your head and think " What did they do that for ?" ( the car is driving backwards aerodynamically : 
So do they run REAL cars at this event ? Here is an example of a "car" for this race - which i seem to remember runs at less than 40 mph. This isn't much more than a tissue paper covered motorized skateboard ( when compared to an everyday car - not knocking the genius designers.I really admire these guys ): 
I see this as nothing more than Shell trying to gain P.R. as being eco-friendly.
They are after all an oil company.
I recognize the car as the PACII car. The above design is the most streamlined "car" in the world . I just have to wonder how a human fits inside of this thing .... and how do they breathe ?.

This is why I've ignored 'wing' cars and leaned towards the pumpkin seeds.The Bochum University solar car is a regular 2-door coupe of Cd 0.14.
You walk up to it,open the door,get inside and close the door all by yourself.
