The word is out and it has been confirmed that Aptera Typ-1 will hit the roads very soon, but only in California. Aptera Motors stated that this enhanced, refined, re-engineered version of Aptera, the concept electric vehicle that created ripples and sent shivers down the lane for other auto manufacturers in the industry by achieving an amazing 230 mpg in its first on-road test, is available for reservations!

Being the brainchild of Steve Fambro, who wanted to build a car that was safe, comfortable and more fuel efficient than anything ever produced in the world, Aptera in Greek means 'flight without wings'. It accommodates 2 members and according to crew at Aptera, there's also space for an infant!

We've seen so many cool custom car designs and totally crazy hot rods and rat rods, but the super-sleek, aerodynamic, 3-wheeled design of Aptera is totally new and never seen before in the automotive industry! Available right now for reservations, the production of the car will begin in late 2008.
