Do you also see a tandem Aptera? :)

Is it just me or do you also see a tandem Aptera?

Take away the wings and you have a damn fine body for a tandem Aptera..?
That LEANS!

A Tandem has to lean: There's too much 'high weight' on the single back wheel not to.
Leaning is super stable and way faster around bends.
Besides; nothing puts a smile on your dial like a leaning vehicle Especially while basically lying on your back with your head up, in a car!

I'd want to lean or not with foot controls, kinda like leaning while standing, but with a foot on each wheel's axel.

This shows off the fun lean, but Id probably use a torsion bar inboard suspension.



It's here because that shape's about as aero as it gets and looks good!
I like the vids just for the pure shape of the fuselage. Pity we need wheels.
Some of them even seem to have a similar funny downward bend to the tail as an Aptera..?
That would beat Aptera's CdA.

I wonder if a sailplane maker might be persuaded to make one..?

Just a dream I thought I'd share.
