Iranian university students unveiled on Thursday an entirely solar-powered car, the local satellite Press TV reported.

Students from the vehicular research department at the University of Qazvin designed an entirely solar-powered vehicle named "Havin," said the report.

Havin, or shining sun, is five meters long and two meters wide with a speed of over 130 km (80 miles) per hour, according to the report.

Also, the fiber glass vehicle weighs 160 kg and is fitted with six square meters of silicon solar cells.

Reportedly in October last year, Iranian students designed and built a hybrid car.
