clipped from www.aptera.com The first Operating Prototype achieved over 230 Miles per gallon! Five years ago, Aptera's founder Steve Fambro endeavored to design and build a passenger vehicle that was safe, comfortable, and more fuel-efficient than anything ever produced. This aspiration, combined with his background in engineering, led him to an intensive study of aerodynamics, and composite aircraft construction. He hypothesized that a low-drag, aerodynamic body shape could be achieved without sacrificing comfort, drivability or safety. clipped from blogwtf.com clipped from www.aptera.com Crash Testing Electric & Gasoline Hybrid The real deal about Aptera's Mileage
