The old-school American road trip might look a little different if sustainable automaker AC Future gets its way via a new, groundbreaking RV concept with Pininfarina.
In a change of pace from record-setting Automobili Pininfarina supercars, the high-end automaker partnered with the California-based AC Future to unveil the potential mobile home of the future: An electric RV that would drastically change the camping and travel experience.

It’s boundary-pushing (in concept, at least) in every way, with an electric-vehicle design and power system that would allow users to go a week off-grid without a charge.

Pininfarina’s input gave it a sleek, stylish design befitting its fleet of impressive supercars, with luxe interiors that also amp up the typical vehicle camping experience.
And with a mind-boggling expandable design offering 400 square feet with just the push of a button, the RV concept was designed with a better, more premium and eco-friendly experience in mind.

It’s certainly not the first time Pininfarina has thought outside the box (just see its 2022 line of Pininfarina-inspired iPhone cases) but this takes things to the next level in terms of (potential) sustainability and streamlined design.

The concept features solar panels that would use sunlight to generate +25kWh of electricity, while an Atmospheric Water Generator system would convert moisture from the air into 50 liters of clean water daily.

The fact that it’s designed to do all of this while looking more like a premium hotel than a camping RV is noteworthy, to say the least.

The partnership is a forward-thinking one, designed to meet the needs of a “population seeking more expressive, functional, and eco-conscious mobile lifestyles,” and they’ve certainly set a high bar to clear.

A beta prototype is set to drop early next year, with mass production planned to ramp up by the final three months of 2025 — perhaps an ambitious timeline, but one that should draw the attention of eager travel enthusiasts interested in a more sustainable (and swanky) way to travel.
