If you don't believe that the future of the automotive world is going to be green, then I invite you to check out all of these futuristic solar car concepts. Designers are hard at work and dreaming up innovative cars that run solely on solar power.
These futuristic solar car concepts range from two-person pod cars to supercars, a variety that should help quiet the haters who fear that solar-powered cars are destined to be boring to drive and slow. While some may find that today's solar cars look admittedly silly, tomorrow's will be badass, with innovative tech on the inside and sleek and aerodynamic exteriors. If you are counting the days until you can trade in your gas-guzzler for a sun-sipping ride, then you're definitely going to want to click through all of these futuristic solar car concepts.
