Aptera Motors is a maker of high-efficiency vehicles. Its first
product, a three-wheeled two-seater, is currently under
development. The long-range fuel efficiency of the hybrid model of 130 mpg at 55 mph (0.8 L/100 km at 90 km/h) would make it one of the most fuel-efficient cars in the world. A higher figure of just over 300 mpg is used for shorter (100 mile) trips, where the pre-charged batteries are able to run the hybrid vehicle for approximately the first 60 miles. The Typ-1 accelerates from 0–60 mph (0-97 km/h) in less than 10 seconds with a top speed over 85 mph (137 km/h). The price is US$26 900 for the all-electric
"Aptera Local" and US$29 900 for the plug-in hybrid "Aptera Everywhere".
As of May 2008, Aptera Motors
has received nearly 2500 refundable deposits for its vehicles. It
currently expects to deliver first units to California customers in December 2008 and to
fill all reservations by late summer of 2009. Wiki:
