Britain’s hoping to use this baby for the 3,000km Global Green Challenge. It’s an eco racing car called ‘Endeavour’ which was created by Cambridge University’s eco racing student team. It was first taken on road for a test drive at Ford’s Dunton Technical Centre. It goes up to 60mph and is named after the famous ship with which Captain Cook sailed from England to Australia. The power is entirely from solar energy captured by high efficiency silicon cells. For the challenge in October, four student drivers will pilot the vehicle across the
outback, working in four-hour shifts to cope with the intense heat.

This car is also marking the 800th anniversary this year! WOW!
