CA_NES ◊ 2007-07-09 23:31	made for movie
antp ◊ 2007-07-09 23:59	For the movie, for sure no, as it is a scene taken from an event in 1987 as Stronghold said
marioman3138 ◊ 2009-01-13 00:32	I think it should be named Custom Made, Ford Sponsered Solar Car
marioman3138 ◊ 2009-10-13 08:28	what year would we list this as? 1987? I think so.
Love Krittaya ◊ 2014-05-13 11:26	stronghold wrote A scene from 1987 (Australia) combustion engine economy challenge. And it has no any solar cells visible. Then it is not a solar car (and remove it from extra info). -- Last edit: 2014-06-03 11:23:38
Love Krittaya ◊ 2014-05-13 12:50	The 5107 mpg record is in 1985 (documentary-error?), by Ford Australia Team. http://www.forddiscovery.com/heritage/a-brief-history-of-ford-australia.htm Quote 1985 New mileage record set by Ford engineers – 5,107 miles per gallon. (0.55 L/100km). Aurora Solar Car is also claim the record. (Due to its participation/work in the team, I guess. But Aurora says it was that team.) Shell is sponser of the eco-marathon / mileage marathon event. -- Last edit: 2014-05-13 17:37:15
