@Rcnesneg It's awesome, if it looks like that and solar paneled it would sell like crazy. That design is easier for the average consumer to stomach while being super futuristic at the same time. I would buy it over the 3 wheel Aptera, but I don't feel like waiting. It's possible I'll trade my 3 wheeler for it if it looks like that...
@Rcnesneg Yes, the Eleven design company is headed by Jason.

The Loremo already nailed 4 wheel efficiency bliss (for an ICE powered version.) The only way you're going to improve on it, in my opinion purely, is to electrify it and package the batteries in a semi-load bearing (sandwich) arrangement).
@Nick Lockard wow, I wasn't familiar with this car. This could be an excellent starting point for Aptera. It's wild that it weighed only 992 pounds, but the 0-60 was 20 seconds which isn't acceptable, though some buyers would be ok with the 10 seconds they quoted for the GT version. The price was also great. Interesting car, looks like it was never produced, time to do more research on it...
That glass at the top would be heavier than composite material and its only for cosmetics so I don't think Aptera would do that. Plus that glass would be covered in solar panels anyways. Other than that it's reasonable. I think that extending the wheels from the body might be a design concept throughout their entire line though because it's probably the top reason for the level of aerodynamics they're achieving.
