Get Ready for a 300 Mile Per Gallon Car from Aptera

Thats right, are you sick and tired of having to pay $50-$60 to fill up your tank and have it only last you 300 miles tops? How would you like to pay only $30 to fill your 10 gallon tank and make it across country (3000 miles) on it? Well by the end of the new year that may just be a reality. A Company Called Aptera is leading the way in creating what some call a breakthrough of a vehicle.


The Aptera Typ-1 will go on sale in October of ‘08 in California only to start. There will be 2 models, the solely electric model which will get 120 miles per $3 charge, and the hybrid version which will get approximately 300 miles per gallon. The approximate cost of the electric model will be $26,900, while the hybrid will run at around $29,900.


Here is what’s available in every Aptera


-Driver and passenger side Airbags


-Energy absorbing and impact deflecting passenger Safety Cell


-Advanced drive computer with GPS navigation, CD/MP3/DVD player, XM satellite radio, Large View Rear Camera, and complete vehicle diagnostic system


-”Eyes Forward” vision system with 180 degree rear sight picture displayed in the driver’s field of view to enhance situational awareness


-LED interior and exterior lighting for maximum energy efficiency


-Solar assisted Climate Control System so you always enter a comfortable Aptera that is never too hot or cold


-And an RFID(Radio Frequency ID) key fob so you never have to pull out your keys to enter or start your Aptera. The key fob simply remains in your pocket or purse.
