Introducing the Aptera

Wired article






Having only 3 wheels, the Aptera is classified as a motorcycle. So far, there are two prototypes being worked on: one that is all electric and another that is a plug-in hybrid which uses diesel fuel. Initially, the vehicles will be marketed only in California. With the impressive mileage efficiency that it can achieve, I imagine it wouldn't take long for the rest of the nation to take a look:
The initial prototype of the Aptera achieved 230 mpg, a number that is 195 mpg over the projected standard outlined in President Bush's recent energy bill. As of now, the developers still have more time to work out the kinks and improve its efficiency -- AC expects the Aptera to be ready for Californians in late 2008.




I've got a science-fiction kink. And HOLY FUCK does this car design satisfy it. I. am. in. LUST!!!!

Whoa, that is a sweet ride! It kinda reminds me of the dandelion-powered car on Pushing Daisies, except with ten times more awesome.
