Aptera | The Green Car that Runs 50 MPL

Video | | June 5, 2008 at

The Aptera Motor Company has showed off its Aptera typ-1 which can achieve a remarkable 230MPG while cruising at 55MPH. The Aptera type-1 uses a diesel-electric hybrid powertrain and is able to sprint from 0-60 in under 10 seconds.

Unlike most hybrid automobiles which use Lithium-ion (Li-ion) or Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries, the Aptera typ-1 uses Nickel-zinc (NiZn) batteries.

The Aptera looks nowhere close to being road legal in its current form and its “distinctive” shape is sure to puzzle many onlookers. That being said, the vehicle is expected to retail for around $20,000 although no launch date has been given.
