From California comes a new car design that relies solely on alternative energy.
The car would go 155 mph, do zero to 60 in four seconds and cost about $170,000.
Solar cells on its skin would charge the battery in 1.5 hours and after reaching speed-here's where I become skeptical-a set of strategically placed mini wind turbines would recharge the battery, enabling the car to go 200 miles, or about an hour if you're gunning it around a racetrack.
The car, dubbed the Formula AE, is being designed by Rory Handel and Maxx Bricklinas from Beverly Hills, California. Read how the car will use alternative energy here.
Here's a link to RorMaxx's sponsors and affiliates. One of the affiliates is the X Prize Foundation, which seeks "revolution through competition."
Typically, if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I'm from Missouri, so RorMaxx will have to show me.
