Many car companies today are scrambling to try to invent the greenest car of the future. Electric cars are becoming more and more common, but there are also solar powered cars and other inventive cars that use alternative energy.
Imagine you have been selected by a major car company to design the most sustainable, eco-friendly car of the future! It is your chance to use your creativity and what you have learned about alternative energy to design a car that not only looks mega cool, but will also help the environment. What will your car look like?

Have you ever wanted to drive a truly unique car? Then this is the car for you! "This car is the future of transportation," says lead designer Beverly Tang. This car changes the way we look at driving. Imagine driving down the street with a car that runs entirely on solar power.
This car, named the Beverly 3.0, is a radical new design. It uses green solar panels in the shape of leaves. The roof of the car expands to cover the passengers inside when it is raining. The wheels also act as wind turbines. The car relies on solar and wind energy, and never consumes a drop of gas!
