The solar powered Prius

Our crew over at Engadget spotted this article on a hacked Prius, and we couldn't resist sharing it. The creators claim that the Prius can run 8 km (a little less than 5 miles) on the sun's energy alone. Personally, I'd rather plug in my hybrid than strap some heavy PV Panels to the roof. Talk about top heavy! I'm thinking a turbocharged Prius would be much more fun.
