The "Apterra" X-Prize contender was supposedly designed from scratch, but its body very much resembled an airplane fuselage. I wonder what happened to those guys? Seems like every update was that they were moving into yet another, bigger facility...

I was really looking forward to seeing them on the road (and maybe even getting one). Seemed like the forward wheel pods were maybe an unnecessary evil, though...
