Aptera - If this really gets 300mpg would you buy one?

[RemaL]

Looks like it has a one cylinder hybrid engine. Weird Design, and is technically a motorcycle?

OK

300+MPG
Excempt the C charge cos its a Hybrid.
Looks kinda cool for an eco car.

As long as it has useable speed and acceleration and doesn't cost the earth to buy I would rather have one of these that a Gwizz!

Whats not to like?

[odyssey2200]

According to one of the Vids on the site it cost around $30,000 USD

thats £15,238.40.

Not cheap to buy but how many gallons of fuel would you save at £5 ish a gallon and £8/day CC?

Yeah, I can see the attraction.....but it's no bike though!

Looks good but needs the engine replacing with a Hayabusa lump, still get 50+ mpg but a lot more fun

Its no bike but definatly interesting.

At £5 per gallon, i would be very intersted in anything that does 300mpg regardless of how it looked.

£10 per month in fuel instead of £130. Nice.

I'd much prefer it if it was made by Honda.

Where exactly would you take one of these when it broke? And being made by a new and small company, it probably will go wrong occasionally.

Funny, I mentioned this thing 6 months ago & was berrated for it.

SPECS

How fast will the Aptera go?

At this time we are not able to post hard numbers on performance, although top speed for the production model will exceed 85 mph, going from 0-60 in under 10 seconds.



Not a motorcycle...
