Posted By myfairlady 11 months, 2 weeks ago in NewsThe new environmentally-friendly high performance car was designed in California
The Formula AE car will use a solar-powered battery to get it moving but will then use the airflow passing over the vehicle to power a turbine.
It will be able to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in less than four seconds and is expected to cost around £100,000 when it hits the market.
Four strategically placed air intakes, which will be built discretely into the car's bodywork, will channel the airflowover the car's body towards the turbine.
There are two intakes on the front of the car and one on each side towards the rear.
