This footage of the first Aptera iteration (uploaded August 2016) has very few views and merely above a meager 100 likes so far is IMO a candidate for achieving cult status!

MUST see! :D



Original description by Steve Fambro on YT:
"The Aptera 2G driving up and down a dirt hill with Japanese Kei-class 660 cc FWD, 5 speed manual and internal NACA entrance/exit radiator designed for no drag."

It really is funny to hear that small ICE engine revving like crazy to move the early Aptera along.

Welcome and I look forward to hearing more about that time in Aptera. Were you there?

No, not at all, I'm in Switzerland. But back around 2008 or 2009 I stumbled across some pictures and whatnot about Aptera, was totally enthusiastic and tracked down how I could order one - just to find out that outside the US it was absolutely impossible to even order or pre-order, let alone buy and get shipped one! I was quite upset about this and tried to forget it... :lol:
