The Nuna car is constructed from many materials originating from space making it one of the most efficient solar vehicles ever built. This high-tech racer Nuna uses lightweight materials such as carbon fibres, synthetic resin and foam plastics in around one third of the total car. The aerodynamics and the technology used to join plastics were first used for space vehicles re-entering the Earth's atmosphere. High performance solar cells will push the car up to 160 km/h.
