The most 'normal' solar car i've seen.

Other than the skinny tires, and potato chip thinness of the car, the Sunswift eVe is the most normal solar car I have seen to date.
Even the roof height of the car is not as low as the usual solar car.
The shape is quite nice as well - even if it were powered by an ICE.
Wow

Weight is just 700 lbs ( yes seven hundred ) and the Cd is point 16.

Here the car attempts to break the FIA speed record over a 500km course ( thats over 60 mph over 310 miles - just amazing :



I came across the car on this thread at the excellent site landspeedracing.com:Oldsmobile Aerotech?

It's an actual 'doorslammer' too ( looks manta ray like in this image to me ) :
