New company set to resurrect the Aptera automobile Quote:

Interesting!
Personally, I would have chosen Aaptera or maybe Ahptera! :P |
I looked at the comments from the Gizmag readers. The two issues sited are price and vehicle stability. Most agree the shape is ideal but not everyone likes trikes. The composite materials of the uni-body do drive the cost. A four wheel version made from aluminum honeycomb powered by a 3 cyl. diesel for under $20k USD would be a highly marketable product especially if it gets 125 mpg highway.

The sad part is the price is nuts. $50k for an ICE Aptera? For that price I might as well get a T-Rex. CarloSW2 |
A market probably exists for kits. Several levels of kits could be offered for people who would find it a satisfying exercise to build a custom Aptera for themselves.

Also there was a post yesterday about korean and chinese cars If that guy could get the 1.1L turbo diesel it could be made to all work together...
think about that one????:D |
As the new "Aptera" hovers at the plate, the Barnum & Bailey circus organ blares "...Ball Game..." through the speakers and the smell of stale popcorn & warm beer wafts through the air, and the financial Umpire yells "...strike TWO..."

Why not? Aptera resurrected the Dale
