Aptera Futuristic Electric/Hybrid Car
In the market for a new car? Take a look at the Aptera: a rather futuristic electric hybrid car. It seats 2.5 people with lots of room for luggage and has very innovative design. The Aptera hits a speed of 60 mph in 10 seconds, and has a max speed of 95 mph. If you’re interested, you can reserve an Aptera for a refundable $500 (they should be produced within a year). Other features of the Aptera include airbags, a rear view camera, GPS navigation, a CD/MP3/DVD Player, RFID Key Fob to start the car, a solar assisted climate control system (powered by the solar panels in the roof of the car) that keeps your car at a comfortable temperature while you’re not in it, and an engine option of Electric or Hybrid.
If you choose the all electric engine, the Aptera will be entirely powered by battery. The battery lasts for an average of 120 miles, and recharges via an 110 volt outlet within hours. The Electric Aptera will cost $26,900.
If you prefer the hybrid model, the Aptera is powered by both battery and gasoline. This extends the range of your Aptera to 300 miles per gallon of gasoline, which is far beyond the reach of any available car. The Hybrid Aptera will cost $29,900.
The Aptera is really an intriguing option for many car owners, especially given the rising prices of gas. Click here to visit Aptera’s website.
