The Car of the Future : Here in October.

January 23rd, 2009 | Tags:

Aptera Motors has rolled out the first pre-production model of the 2e, an all-electric three-wheeled two-seater that gets the equivalent of 200 mpg and goes 100 miles on a charge. It’s a significant milestone for the Southern California startup, which plans to put the first cars in driveways by Halloween and looks like a contender to win the $10 million Progressive Automotive X Prize.

    It’s cute, but doesn’t compare to an all electric Shelby Aero EV:

    1,000 horsepower and 800 pound-feet of torque, zero to 60 in 2.5 seconds and top out at 208 mph! That is, if it ever sees the light of day…
