Lets get some real speculation going. Since Aptera is the most aerodynamic, what would it take to slam in a huge electric motor upgrade and go for a Land speed record (dont know which one). Or some redesign with the motor on the back wheel. I Know Nothing! about this. Lets get some designer creative juices flowing. LIke :
4 wheels. 2 retractable
Mini wings for stability
296 km/h, 184 mph
I was thinking of re-design too. 1 seat, narrower carriage if it helps. Bigger motors, etc. Since its strictly for a 2 way run at speed, range should not be an issue.
Throw in some crazy ideas, like two wheels up front, then the back side is reshaped to a wing it flies. I dont know, that may make more drag.
Retract that wheel when enough lift is generated. Or, 2 retracting wheels and it basically becomes and actual 2 wheeler. I saw that on some demo enclosed motorcycle years ago. Two little training wheels popped down when the speed got under some range. You won't need the screen, extra seat, etc. so lighter weight. I think no brakes (regenerative).
Hey. I'm just trying to spark some creative juices.
I dont swear this numbers are right, but its what I found on a Google search
There is an Indoor record that was set last year, (10 February 2021)
"Driver Leh Keen (USA), with the help of Porsche, has broken the record for the fastest speed achieved by a vehicle indoors - a record which hasn't been broken since 2013. Leh reached a staggering speed of 165.20 km/h (102.65 mph) at the New Orleans Convention Center, in Louisiana, USA."

The Buckeye Bullet 3 is the final iteration of the project, building on the technology of the previous vehicles. It is 4-wheel drive and has a drag coefficient of 0.13.[4] The car has separate powertrains for each axle, with the cockpit in the center. Each powertrain has two electric motors driving a 2-speed transmission, built by Hewland. 1st gear can be used up to 275mph.[7] On September 19, 2016, the Buckeye Bullet 3 achieved a new world record with a speed of 341.4 mph (549.43 km/h), beating its own previous record of 308 mph (495.14 km/h).
Something to shoot for 😏
Top speed may already be 209mph!
Aptera's 110mph top speed spec seems to be software-limited, not drag-limited. According to my calculations on my Aptera Range At Speed sheet it only uses about 26kW to go 110. So I added a column to see what speed would theoretically take the 3 motors' full 150kW, & it's 209mph!
Dude. You might just have a little too much time on your hands :).
