Three Wheel Car - Aptera
Aptera is a new concept car designed by Accelerated Composites. The company claims that they achieved a drag coefficient of less than 0.06 using a different aerodynamic body shape, some may say unconventional. Being very lightweight, Aptera should have a fuel consumption of only 0.7 liters per 100 Km (336 mpg US).
Aptera, the three wheel car, looks just like an airplane, the car has a wide front with two separate front wheels and a tapered rear section with one, fully enclosed rear wheel. Aptera will be equipped with a parallel hybrid-electric propulsion system.
