It looks something like a spaceship or a Star Wars X-wing, but these days, it seems like everything “green” does. Aptera founder Steve Fambro invites the ready, willing, and able (and shorter than 6′5″) to board the Aptera Typ-1, a car that allegedly gets 230 miles to the gallon. Fambro’s theory is that a car with minimal drag and an aerodynamic shape would cut down on those fuel bills, but it can be designed to be comfortable, safe, and user-friendly. Manufacturing for the car — which will tentatively cost nearly $27,000 for an electric-only version, and nearly $30,000 for a plug-in hybrid — starts at the end of this year. Something to keep in mind: anything more than two people and a baby could become a problem.
