Designed and built by NTU engineering undergraduates, this urban solar electric car was built with an innovative 3D-printed body shell that has 150 parts. The interior is simple and made out of plastic. However, the designers and engineers said they took care about the comfort part as well, while trying to keep things simple and lightweight. As far as what makes this 3D-printed vehicle run, the bespoke solar panels on the body of the car help to collect the sun's rays from every angle. This urban vehicle may be ultra small and have a low energy consumption, but it is able to boast top speeds of up to 60 kilometers per hour.
