Despite being first showcased in May, Pininfarina’s Antares has just slipped across our desks — and albeit, it is a concept too gorgeous for us to not share. The lovely tree-like structure — constructed from steel and aluminum — supports 20 photovoltaic cells, which the Italians reckon can produce as much as 4.6 kilowatts, or simply about enough juice to top up two fifty-mile range EVs. That is the plan anyway; we’ll supposedly know more later this year, but given Pininfarina’s past EV efforts, maybe not . Either way, consider this our formal pre-order request for 2 — they’d look perfect right outside Engadget HQ.
