With gas prices topping $4.50 per gallon in some parts of the rustic, a car that costs a fragment of a penny per mile to drive (and appears adore it belongs at the road) is certain to get our attention. The 275-pound, 2,200MPG Celeritas seems to be the nearest we’ve come to having a solar-powered car that may sooner or later take to the streets, however, and is the reason why the vehicle scored first prize within the Urban Concept category during this year’s Shell Eco-marathon. While it may only transport a single person (the driving force), the automobile includes headlights, taillights, a trunk or even backup cameras. Notably absent from this version are aircon and a registration code — the latter of which might (naturally) be required before the auto becomes street legal. The Purdue University design team chose “Celeritas” (Latin for “swiftness”) because the name for this soon-to-be-street-legal roadster, though in a class that’s notorious for slower vehicles, we wouldn’t expect the prototype to fly past us inside the fast lane. Perhaps we will be able to get Celeritas and IVy together for some alone time before we’re dropping Hamiltons for a gallon of normal?
