    I Am Apple's Car: The Aptera 330 MPG Concept Vehicle


    Yes, we know it looks like what would happen if an iPod and a Plymouth Prowler had a child (and yes, we think it would be named 'Steve II' or 'Steve IIe'). But this little concept car from Accelerated Composites was built with a number of specifications in mind. They are:

    # Less than $20,000
    # 12HP CARB certified Diesel engine
    # 25HP DC Motor
    # Regenerative breaking control
    # Automatic CVT transmission
    # 64in front wheel track
    # 173in length
    # Weight of 850lbs
    # 0-60mph in 11s
    # 95mph top speed (electronically limited)
    # 330 MPG at 65 MPH

    Not bad. We'll take the 30 GB one.
