		<description>It was not the first, AUDI first did this in 2005 2006 with their special &quot;Race&quot; series.

AUDI first put solar panels on the roofs of their cars.
I know, my buddy has one.</description>

		<description>WOW!!!  0-60 in 9.8 seconds...  that&#039;s amazing! -ly bad.

The Bugatti Veyron does 0 -100 then back down to 0 in 9.9 seconds.  

But still, lets put this in perspective.  The old Honda insight got and EPA estimated 70.  Why do people love priuses again?  They&#039;re not the most efficient and they&#039;re not fast.   

I&#039;m going to assume that roof panel is roughly 2&#039;x4&#039;.  Even with monocrystaline cells, that&#039;s about 300 watts/h.  Max.  Of course, this would cost +$500, plus it has to be made round.  So +$1000 production cost, so +$2500 to you.  Probably cheaper cells then. And because its separate from the batteries, its only useful if you&#039;re using the air conditioning on a sunny day.   IE not useful in spring, fall, winter.</description>
