His supercar would run off of an <b>electric motor</b> powered by <b>photovoltaic cells</b>, or a <b>hydrogen fuel cell stack</b>. Peter Wilkins’ design is one of the sexiest eco-<b>cars</b> I have ever seen. Making earth-friendly <b>cars</b> that look good is a great idea.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508673635671080514" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9DEFLdk3I8NYM6S2raqM4DV5u7YtTkZBozj2sswbTNWDZJupClspr3n4dvDao86VefEoYiRzdlkul-cBfn3b-lqMWKp7vKHCGTS_fqRp5GtDMEXsFiC11y1_iFVnuxy9QaiJR84N77S8/s400/2010-VW-Supercar-by-designer-Peter-Wilkins---VW-Solar-Powered-Supercar-4.jpg" style="display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The unique design of Wilkins permits each of the four wheels of the vehicle to be driven by an independent electric motor powered by solar energy stored in photovoltaic (PV) cells. The upper external surface of the vehicle stores the PV cells that further supply power to the mid-mounted hydrogen fuel-cell stack, which is directly linked to the electric motors. Placement of the PV cells and hydrogen fuel-cell stack form an integral part of the elegant design of the eco car that looks like part of a supercar.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508673643890564034" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQy7b4MmqnChDnTnMTw91CSRNLC-BdQ9vrA2PKVvM-Hy3ta4GUgjJFjDM4hb32U3Ap24SS9Y9jNo-uuK_fgRqECT1GhTzfDic2H_l7ZTnzc35H2xrqMiM_0BzzEmMQ1PPzWIZaura6p_A/s400/2010-VW-Supercar-by-designer-Peter-Wilkins---VW-Solar-Powered-Supercar-5.jpg" style="display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The “<b>VW Solar Powered Supercar</b>” by designer Peter Wilkins is a concept car that demonstrates the aesthetic aspect of eco-friendly vehicles to attract more people toward sustainable commuting. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508673620836095746" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyJnCHy4KPXLip0HdFUnStzRMoqo_wmNDmR-E9aO42vN7c_kEMAMdqQ8cTUOE4M1eJ0ry6pdEPn_athwaVzIzz9zolkfzRzlcgxjHLE_QrQoY9Jxli7vHL0h10O-TMyVMj75tRnpRH42Q/s400/2010-VW-Supercar-by-designer-Peter-Wilkins---VW-Solar-Powered-Supercar-2.jpg" style="display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Simply known as the “VW Solar Powered Supercar”, this vehicle shows how just clean and green travel can get, and fast too. To power up, the car turns its face away from the smelly gas pump and integrates photovoltaic cells in its body instead. It uses these to juice up with solar power. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508673627869785250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPwp-5qznfBPsAIsu7PVQmEVeb_cfJZl3XiCE_-K90Cc-TcyPNZ-3c0cjmJkVYJwlcux3RfyZa5pwbe1nTHsy9lu8ayuSLujXKOQPqekDckZNq6lpBQkRGTbB2s8a9XUmBen_kiWfHAsE/s400/2010-VW-Supercar-by-designer-Peter-Wilkins---VW-Solar-Powered-Supercar-3.jpg" style="display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /><br /><b> 2010 Volkswagen Sports Cars - VW Solar Powered Supercar Concept</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The energy generated is used to power up a mid-mounted hydrogen fuel cell stack, resulting in a drive without the smoke and the pitch-black carbon footprint supercars usually leave behind these days.</div></div>
