The Fantasy Aptera is Soon to Take the Road

Is it a mini-plane? No, it is a car. No kidding it is really a car. Although this is legally registered as a motorcycle in California since this comes with three-wheels. I can’t blame you if you doubt me at first for even I doubted that this is indeed a car if I have not read the details. Here is another thing that you may not also believe. This car, which looks more of a mini-plane, is soon to be available in a dealer near you. This is because the company Aptera, the producer of this car, scheduled to release this complete electric car in late months of this year. Wonderful isn’t?! It seems like you are driving in a fantasy world. However, the release will still be limited.

So, what is more special with this car aside from its very distinctive look? And why does this appears this way? Well, if you think this was sleekly design just for the sake of uniqueness, you are definitely wrong. Believe me; I was also wrong before (Lol). This auto, which is called Aptera Typ 1, appears very futuristic because this was purposely design as a low-drag vehicle—not just for the sake of aesthetics.

Aptera Typ 1 is a successful study in advanced aerodynamics. This auto was designed with embedded body panels, windshield wipers, and even glass to significantly reduce drag. Cool right?! And Oh-oh, this is not solely nifty in the exterior but also nifty inside. This is equipped with side and rear video cameras, replacing the side and rear view mirrors. This is also equipped with solar cells on top as an internal climate control and force warm log cabin air out at the back of the auto to decrease drag and improve efficiency.

More importantly, the mileage of this electric car can range to 120 mile or roughly 300 miles-per-gallon if converted into a plug-in hybrid. And this is sold for below $30,000 only. Great isn’t? Additionally, this can be charged for just a few hours. Aptera can be charged into 10-kilowatt lithium-ion battery packs. Meantime, Aptera is taking a refundable amount of $500 reservations on their website. So, if you are a lover of uniqueness, you gotta grab your Aptera reservation soon.
