# Aerodynamic Solar Cars The Immortus Sports Car is Capable of Providing Unlimited Range By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2015-08-15 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immortus References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/immortus-solar-electric-sports-car-unlimited-range/38900/) & [evxventures](http://www.evxventures.com/the-immortus.html) The Immortus is a vehicle that uses high-tech [solar race car technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solarpowered-race-vehicle) originally developed by the Australian Aurora Solar Car Team. This vehicle has a light weight and sleek shape which work together to maximize sun exposure and combine it with next-level aerodynamics, with covered wheels adding to the performance. This vehicle is capable of generating its own power through 7 square meters of [solar photovoltaic paneling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solarpowered-golf-cart). Drivers can also charge the battery off the mains if required. However in sunny conditions, the built-in solar panels will let you drive at more than 60 km/h for an unlimited distance. It appears that the Immortus may well be paving the way for a whole new breed of race car, one that offers eco-friendly features without compromising on racing performance. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Solar-powered Vehicles:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing solar-powered cars that can provide unlimited range and optimized performance. - **Aerodynamic Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating vehicles with sleek, aerodynamic shapes to maximize sun exposure and improve overall performance. - **Sustainable Racing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating a new breed of race cars that combine eco-friendly features with high-performance capabilities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating solar power and aerodynamic designs into mainstream vehicle production for improved efficiency and sustainability. - **Renewable Energy:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Advancing solar photovoltaic panel technology to increase efficiency and make solar-powered vehicles more accessible and practical. - **Sports and Racing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Revolutionizing the racing industry by introducing sustainable racing practices and promoting eco-friendly race car designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Solar-Powered Sleek Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-solaris.md) - [Solar-Powered Sedan Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vision-eqxx.md) - [Sleek Solar-Powered SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humble-one-suv.md) - [Two-Seater Solar-Powered Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aptera.md) - [Solar-Powered Autonomous Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polestar-cladrus.md) - [Solar-Powered City Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/city-cars.md) - [Solar-Powered Electric Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/e-clipse-2.md) - [Solar-Powered Autonomous Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-vehicle-concept.md) - [Inductive Charging Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vixen-electric-sports-kit-car.md)
