The limited edition solar electric sports car, the Immortus, is akin to something previously present only in futuristic movies; not only is it solar-powered, but it also has the ability to store whatever energy it was exposed to for later use. This hence makes it possess a potential for infinite endurance as long as there is sunlight.

As a company committed to reducing carbon footprint, the design of the two-seater car is focused on leanness of mass without compromising safety, and full utilisation of the sun’s energy to power the car. With a 10kwh battery pack, the vehicle is said to be able to go for up to 248 miles, even at night. With the presence of sunlight, this distance might increase to 342 miles at 53 miles per hour.

The current plan is for these vehicles to be produced with 3D-printable nodes, as soon as the company obtains the funding required. As a limited edition model, the company is only looking to produce around 100 of these vehicles together with a network of custom car builders in the vicinity of the individual customer. Should production of these be successful, we could be seeing a new evolution of automotive manufacturing processes and the consequent vehicles.
