This highly-regarded three wheeled side-by-side two seat commuter car combines striking good looks with a low aerodynamic drag body. Aptera's aerodynamics draw inspiration from natural forms that embrace the wind instead of trying to fight it. Composite body structures provide an impact-resistant exterior that is lighter than steel but three times as strong. The Aptera aims to provide an energy efficient luxury driving experience.
