There are no beer logos on this race car, because every inch of available space is taken up with solar panels. The Solar Fox, from University College London, is one of two British cars that will be competing in the 2009 World Solar Challenge in Sydney, Australia. The Fox will be racing at speeds of up to 75 MPH, thanks to an electric motor and solar cells with 30 percent energy efficiency, instead of just 20 percent like most cells.
