Sunswift 7 has attempted to set a world Guiness Book of Records for travelling over 1000 km on one charge in 12 hours.
While the students from the University of New South Wales wait for the ratification of their recent Guinness World Record attempt for the fastest solar electric car over a distance of 1000 km , let’s have a look at the background.
“This is the result of the hard work of 50 undergraduate students who are very dedicated, very focused and very talented,” he said. “They were given the freedom to create. The criteria was simple: build a car that has solar power and a battery. I had very little influence over what they chose to do within that — I just wanted them to make the best engineering decisions.
The Tesla Model S was used as a benchmark. Sunswift 7 weighs 500 kg , about one quarter of the weight of a Model S. It is so efficient that it will complete the 1000 km world record attempt on just a single charge of its solar-powered battery with a drag coefficient of 0.095 — compare that to the Tesla’s 0.208.
