    Thanks
    Do members here generally like the design?

    No you'll need lots of solar panels to really get anywhere and your materials will have to be super light.



    Also youd have to make it aerodynamic unlike the following.

    Yeah, already figured the aerodynamic might cause some problems.
    Here's the coupe I've designed. I also thought I might render some ADV1 on it too.



    Are three solar panels enough? I was thinking of maybe contacting the guys over at UGR and have them install the stage 1 twin solar panel turbo as well.

    Really this is pretty unconventional... the wheels and magnets (repelling magnetic crumple zone I presume) are going to weigh you down and the solar panel area you have should only last you less then 10 minutes on a good sunny day.

    I think the best solution would be to get a pony, that way the fuel comes free from the grass along the side of the road, and it will have lots of chick appeal... trust me

    If you start off with a better base car, such as Fiero, I think you might have something there!

    A stretched MR2 with wide track suspension and motorcycle engines would be a realistic dream build of mine, but Im poor unfortunately.

    In my professional opinion...
    The following statement is true
    The previous statement is false
