Made of a lightweight aluminum–carbon composite chassis, SOLARIS does not need any gas, electric grids or commercial charging networks. When parked, its photovoltaic wings unfold into a circular array that converts sunlight to charge its lithium system. Powered by a high-torque electric motor and regenerative braking, it provides instant acceleration and an impressive kinetic energy during the drive. With a design inspired by the anatomy of a leopard, SOLARIS operates through an intelligent solar-energy management system which monitors collection, storage and distribution, tracking performance and solar intake in real time.
