James Dyson is working on a solar-powered car to match the success of his bagless vacuum cleaner.
Engineers at the entrepreneur’s Wiltshire HQ are developing a lightweight electric motor that could power a family saloon for hundreds of miles.
The battery would be charged by solar panels mounted on the vehicle’s roof, or on the roof of a garage where the car is kept.
Sir James, whose inventions have made him a fortune worth around £800million, believes electric cars will outnumber petrol ones within a decade.

stvalentine, I like this story. It's good stuff. This is good news indeed. I would line up to buy a Dyson car. I have a Dyson vacuum cleaner and it really is an amazing piece of technology.
