With gas prices still skyrocketing the Aptera might be the vehicle we need.
Aptera will be available in two models: all-electric and series hybrid. The electric version is slated for delivery in 2008 with the hybrid model to follow.
The all-electric model has a range of 120 miles. The plug-in series hybrid has achieved more than 300 miles per gallon with a range of more than 600 miles. Both will be available for “less than $30,000,”
Solar cells embedded under the roof operate an always-on climate control system, ensuring the interior never gets too hot or too cold, and a computer-controlled “Eyes Forward” vision system.
By replacing the side mirrors with embedded cameras that display a 180-degree rear view in the front of the instrument panel, Eyes Forward “gives the driver complete situational awareness without taking their eyes off of the road.”
THe Aptera can be reserved with a $500 deposit.
To reserve, cluck here.
