UAE launched a solar powered racing car as a part of Abu Dhabi Solar Challenge

It took 18 months for the creation of this super car which costs $ 3 million. A team of 30 engineers and young drivers invented this car at Petroleum institute.  The hi-tech vehicle will represent the UAE in the inaugural Abu Dhabi Solar Challenge (ADSC) from the 15th – 18th of January 2015. 

The cars? solar panels generate about as much power as a domestic hairdryer, but advanced aerodynamics and lightweight materials propel them past 100kph.


Dr Fahad Al Maskari, PI solar car project director and team leader, said: ?Today is an important milestone. The students in the team have worked to the best of their abilities and pushed themselves to the limit in utilising their knowledge and experience and applying it to the project in hand. I am proud to be a part of all they have achieved so far, and I would like to thank everyone for their support.?
