Interesting

The link below the photo from the article takes you to the other photos posted. Soooo, I wonder which one is correct? Will the real Aptera be the absolutly butt-ugly design or will it be the little grey go-cart design?

Although you can definitely pre-order an Aptera if you're okay with space-aged design, Volkswagen is hoping to provide another option for those looking for ridiculous MPG and a little bit of normalcy in construction.

Ah, here it is. The article never states the name of the little grey go-cart (VW) and the link below their photo goes to the startup company, which is not VW.

VERY poor writing.

The real VW, and still no real name...

From this angle it looks like four wheels

“The conceptual necessity for a small frontal area led to an unusually narrow and very flat body form being chosen. The body was developed in a wind tunnel, is 3.47 metres long, but just 1.25 metres wide and just over a metre in height, and is made completely of carbon fibre composites. To save weight, it is of course not painted. The carbon-fibre-reinforced outer skin is tensioned over a spaceframe that is not made of aluminium, but rather of magnesium, which is even lighter… Deformation elements at the front end and the spaceframe construction provide impact and roll-over protection comparable to that of a GT racing car.”
