Road & Track road test of Aptera prototype (video + damage)



Road & Track Magazine - Exclusive: Aptera 2e (2/2009)

OK, so the "damage" I'm referring to is minimal, but if you watch the video where they show the car accelerating rapidly from a stop, you can see (and hear, I think) the rear end squat down and the rear wheel pant strikes the ground, leaving two white stripes on the pavement on either side of the tire.

They seem to like the way it drives/handles. Pushed it hard around a few bends (hard enough to hear tire squeal).

Videos: there are supposedly 3 parts, but Part 2 is missing from their video console - Road&Track
