Solar Car Sets Record In Canada
All he had to do was make through the roads of Canada in the fastest time possible. It may sound simple but it is not. After all, you would never know what is coming up those roads. But Marcelo da Luz had been able to set a new world record. This Canadian was able to complete 15,000 kilometers in a solar car and he made that in 140 days.This record was actually held previously by an Australian team and that happened back in 2002. However, that is now broken and da Luz is the current title holder. He used a solar car known as the Power of One or the Xofl. Many have said that it looks like those flying saucer objects in the sky but it sure can travel fast and travel well.
This solar car could go up to 200 kilometers for one charging. And with that, it can achieve 120 kilometers per hour as its maximum speed.
