The Venturi Astrolab
The Venturi Astrolab looks unique. There is absolutely no trace of Lexus vent visor or any kind of exterior car accessory found on typical cars. But it has left me impressed regarding its power as it can go 74 mph.
The Astrolab in fact, has been considered as the first commercially available solar electric hybrid car in the world. It has a range of 68 miles, which is long enough for most commutes.
However, if you have or you want to go for long commutes, it would be best if you leave this vehicle parked out under the sun for it to be all charged up and eventually become ready for you when get back home.
Some people may think that the Astrolab is somewhat a concept car only. But, we should all realize that it is definitely already for production. In fact, Venturi, its maker, plans to ship such type of vehicle this coming January. Though it will cost $117,000, the Astrolab will most likely gain the desire of enthusiasts as they could see the potential amount of money one could save on gas for the vehicle.
Oh… In that case, if only I have that much cash, I might just take one home.
