Solar Race Cars
Most solar-powered cars are constructed mostly by university engineering teams, and they compete in very long distance races that are designed for these vehicles all around the World. This leapfrogs all solar technology because the participants are very competitive.
This is an Excellent Solar Car Construction Diary/Blog

The Netherlands-based Nuna II Solar Car
This world speed record-holding solar car was made using European Space Agency technology transfer. It has reached a top speed of 105 mph, so now most solar car races have limited the racing vehicles to a maximum speed of 65 mph (100 kph) for safety. Endurance and reliability are just as important as speed in these races which feature testing of the latest technologies available.

The Astrolab Concept Commercial Electro/Solar Hybrid Car
This French concept car is the first attempt to create a solar-powered consumer model of the racing solar cars, and it appears to succeed quite well. It claims a range of about 60 miles and 65 mph top speed. The range is more than most electric vehicles today because it gets some recharging while driving whenever the sun is shining. If necessary, it can be plugged in to recharge the batteries.
