I like this one! It from the same designer as from the Spark (Scam) EV Comet.

That vehicle looks sharp, but it does have 4 wheels and tires

That is sweet!
I'd like to see the inside, and hear the specs.

Beautiful renderings, thanks Matthijs...

Could it be made and how much?

What do you think the aerodynamic Cd is?

Pretty nice design. Except for the exhaust pipes. Yuck.
And the rear view mirrors. meh.

The link above has a reference to a car called 'The Current' which they claim is available now (though it shows no inventory available). with 65-200 mile range, top speed of 65-70, freeway legal and a speed from 0-60 in 4.9 seconds, how is this car being kept mum if it's truly available. Does anyone know anything about this car?

BTW, love the above 3(4) wheel designs... very nice indeed.

Very cool, definitely hits the 'sexy' button when it comes to vehicles. I wonder if it is classified as a 3-wheeler though; the rear 2 wheels could be a dually.

Also I wonder how much impact on the CD those mirrors have. Any more info about that vehicle or is it just art at this point?

This was all I could find about the vehicle. I strongly think this is still art, I just hope more cars will be designed like this. CD impact on mirrors is a very good question on its own, I also wonder about this may the Aptera require mirrors in some states/countries.
