So far,only the World Solar Challenge-type cars have dared use it,from GM's (400-mpg) 1987 Sunraycer on.
They're the 'size' of a 1990s Buick Roadmaster,but with the weight of a sport motorcycle.
The 2013 Bochum University' Solar World GT is a two-place,template-esque example.Inside,it feels like a Honda Del Sol,Lotus Elan,Fiero,but with way better vision.
As a Honda Accord it would have 100-mpg on the highway according to Honda R&D.
