Production car? Concept car? Solar car?



GM's EV1 was the most aero production car - drag coefficient of 0.195

Automobile drag coefficient - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ha !
Do you guys just sit there trying to think of the most clever titles for your postings ?
Good one. I'm still laughing.

Meto, can we call the Aptera a production car yet ? no ?
Doooh ... so close to being one though.

Point 15 baby !

( If I bought one, I'd be taking the mirrors off within minutes, and trying to think of how to get the car back to the original .11 ! )
