fucking cool as hell.... fully electric....
NEW YORK ā You donāt see this many cameraphones pulled out in this town short of a Britney Spears sighting. We sure as heck havenāt seen as many wide-eyed onlookers for a car here before. āDoes it fly?ā asked one of the dozens of New Yorkers crammed outside the Hearst Tower as the Aptera Typ-1e electric vehicle pulled up to accept its Breakthrough Award.
No, the Aptera doesnāt fly, but it can hit 120 miles per gallon right now, and itās headed for production this fall. We already took the first Aptera test drive last December, so we let our Jalopnik buddy Ray Wert sit shotgun for a trip around the block as the aerodynamically awesome car, on its first trip to the East Coast, made its way around the corner to tonightās Breakthrough Conference and Awards Presentation, where other winners in alternative energyāas well as space, appropriate technology and much moreāare already wowing the crowds. Even legendary astronaut and PM editorial advisory board member Buzz Aldrin walked away impressed. See his and the Big Appleās reaction with the gallery at left, and stay tuned for much more live coverage right here. āMatt Sullivan
