No sooner had I finished writing the article on Green GT’s Solar Electric car did I come across more images of the developments they have made.
\nWow it is simple I am converted where do I sign up I want to buy one!<\/p>\n

\"Green-Gts-Electric-Car\"<\/p>\n

And apparently the intention is to race in Le-Mans as soon as 2011 – I will say it again Wow! – it seems amazing that from electric power which can be recharged for free from solar, harnessing the suns power can then power a Le-Mans racing car.
\nI did notice a lack of solar paneling on these images but I am sure that is just so it looks pretty in the pics.<\/p>\n
