Aurora3 http://www1.umn.edu/umnsvp/aurora3/index.html Description Aurora3 has a top speed of 78 mph, runs 55 mph on the power of a hairdryer and can travel over 120 miles without any sun! Four out of the nine days of Sunrayce 97, the Aurora3 finished in the top three while also unofficially beating its old average daily speed record of 50.4 mph to the unprecedented 51.6 mph averaged over 150 miles. Aurora3 also won the Junior Class Championship at the 1998 World Solar-Car Rallye, while coming in 7th overall out of 81 registered cars. It placed higher than many cars in the free class, where unlimited funds can be spent. With Aurora3, the team continued in its tradition of dramatically improving the car's efficiency compared to its predecessors. The project consistently produces vehicles capable of competing with world-class teams. |
