    Meet ‘Millennium,’ U-M’s newest solar car

    Millennium is parked in the atrium of a building with a gray, linoleum floor. Its sleek yellow body gleams as it reflects the atrium's fluorescent lights.

    Equipped with a streamlined design and state-of-the-art solar panel management system, the U-M Solar Car Team unveiled its newest car, “Millennium,” at the Michigan Theater on May 23. It will compete in the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge this year, a biennial race that draws engineering student teams from Europe, North America, Asia and Australia. The race begins in Darwin on Australia’s northern coast and ends at Adelaide on the country’s southern coast, around 1,800 miles away. This year’s race will be the first to start in August, during the Australian winter. (Photo by Daniel Aguilera Irala, U-M Solar Car)
