Aptera is taking preorders for 300 MPG car
The three wheeler gets amazing gas mileage due to a couple of features. first, it's light, sports a one cylindar engine, and has only three wheels. Having three wheels means it's technically considered a motorcycle by American authorities. That means it doesn't have to go through the same safety inspections as a four-wheeled car.
In other words, while this puppy can go from zero to 60 in 11 seconds, and can get top speeds near 100 miles per hour, don't expect it to be particularly safe. If that doesn't scare you off, Aptera plans to start selling its vehicles within 12 months. A full electric version will set you back $26,900, while a diesel hybrid will cost $29,900. The company is now accepting pre-orders for $500, which is refundable if you get cold feet.
