Aptera vehicle going into production
Posted on Sep 28, 07 01:44 AM PDT
The Aptera might look pretty space age in terms of design, but surprisingly it will actually enter production. You can reserve yours today by dropping half a grand (refundable), and can expect to take one home within a year. The Aptera is said to seat 2 adults comfortably and can hit 60mph from a standing start in approximately 10 seconds, and features an electronically limited top speed of 95mph. Inside the car, everything looks pretty normal ranging from the airbags, rear view camera, GPS navigation, and CD/MP3/DVD player with XM. A solar assisted climate control system helps keep the Aptera's interior cool, and you can choose from an All Electric or Plug-in Hybrid when it comes to the engine. The former will retail for $26,900 while the latter is slightly more expensive at $29,900, although it can achieve a mileage of 300 miles per gallon. Booking one today?

I'm from Orange County, CA. I just placed my $500 deposit. I think I'm #2382. I can't wait to drive this thing down the street.

The doors open like a Lambourgini, and yeah I emailed one of the customer reps and she told me that they will not be getting them in other states YET because customer service is important to them.... I don't get it.

Love the concept, but according to Aptera's website, only Californians are special enough to get a crack at them in '08.

Great car. I love how large the trunk is, there's a picture on the company's website with 2 surfboards and a bunch of junk in it. I also like the cameras instead of rear view mirrors, much better for the aerodynamics. With a Cd of 0.11, it's no wonder this thing will get an average of 230mpg at 55mph on a tank of gas! I would expect a commuter with traffic would get a lot more, actually--regenerative breaking rocks.
Too bad they're not going to sell them in Virginia. Maybe I can buy one in Ca and drive it over here. I think I could afford the gas to drive it across country--$30!!? ten gallons of gas to go across country seems amazing...
