The Aptera is a new hybrid prototype vehicle built by Accelerated Composites for Aptera Motors (an Idealab company). This futuristic-looking car combines a super-efficient diesel hybrid engine with an ultralight carbon fiber body to deliver over 200 mpg in hybrid mode, or drive close to 200 miles on a single charge in batteries-only mode.
Surprisingly, Aptera plans to sell it for only $20,000. http://apteramotors.com/ [Aptera Motors] via Geekologie
Interested in something a little bigger? Then check out the Loremo.
How about some 'green' cars that people outside of southern California can drive year-round?
That's killing the hybrid industry more than the oil companies.
The first thing I wondered was where's the trunk space. The second thing was where's the people space?
Still, it looks neat, and 200 mpg is nothing to sneeze at.
