They aren\u2019t green enough after all and are gas-o-holics. So, he came up with a concept car design for Volkswagen, which also is an entry at the 2010 Swansea Metropolitan University Degree Show in automotive design. Simply known as the \u201cVW Solar Powered Supercar\u201d, 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. 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.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nThe car has all the \u201cVroom!\u201d and \u201cZoom!\u201d in it to leave you drooling and asking for more. Hopefully we do see this one roll out of a VW manufacturing plant soon.<br \/>\n<span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_images\/0810\/09\/VW-Solar-Powered-Supercar-2.php\" onclick=\"window.open(&#039;https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_images\/0810\/09\/VW-Solar-Powered-Supercar-2.php&#039;,&#039;popup&#039;,&#039;width=550,height=352,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#039;); return false\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/VW-Solar-Powered-Supercar-2-thumb-450x288.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"288\" alt=\"VW-Solar-Powered-Supercar-2.jpg\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\" \/><\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_images\/0810\/09\/VW-Solar-Powered-Supercar-3.php\" onclick=\"window.open(&#039;https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_images\/0810\/09\/VW-Solar-Powered-Supercar-3.php&#039;,&#039;popup&#039;,&#039;width=550,height=350,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#039;); return false\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/VW-Solar-Powered-Supercar-3-thumb-450x286.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"286\" alt=\"VW-Solar-Powered-Supercar-3.jpg\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\" \/><\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_images\/0810\/09\/VW-Solar-Powered-Supercar-4.php\" onclick=\"window.open(&#039;https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_images\/0810\/09\/VW-Solar-Powered-Supercar-4.php&#039;,&#039;popup&#039;,&#039;width=550,height=332,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#039;); return false\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/VW-Solar-Powered-Supercar-4-thumb-450x271.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"271\" alt=\"VW-Solar-Powered-Supercar-4.jpg\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\" \/><\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_images\/0810\/09\/VW-Solar-Powered-Supercar-5.php\" onclick=\"window.open(&#039;https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_images\/0810\/09\/VW-Solar-Powered-Supercar-5.php&#039;,&#039;popup&#039;,&#039;width=550,height=373,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#039;); return false\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/VW-Solar-Powered-Supercar-5-thumb-450x305.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"305\" alt=\"VW-Solar-Powered-Supercar-5.jpg\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\" \/><\/a><\/span><br \/>\n[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thedesignblog.org\/entry\/solar-powered-supercar-presents-an-emotion-driven-aspect-of-volkswagen\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\">TheDesignblog<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Designer Peter Wilkins isn\u2019t really satisfied with all the supercars we have zooming around everywhere today.
