In the general classification of the 3,000-kilometer-long Australian zonnerace was the TU Delft, the profits picked up the Nuna7, and there is now a second Dutch success to fix stuck. The vierzits Stella is, after the tijdsfinish and the unofficial entry in the centre of Adelaide, also by the jury will be declared the winner.

4.5 metres long and 1.65 metres wide, the Stella is powered by four staafmixermotortjes in the wheels, but brute force is not the goal of this four-seater. Return, and thanks to the solar panels on the roof and the 6 kWh accuutje is a range of 600 km. The 380 kg weight of Stella consumed than 1.7 KW of energy. As much as a iron.
