Meet the 300mpg hybrid!

This looks like a flying car, but it’s no flight of fancy. Called the Aptera, the wacky machine is about to go into production and is almost as environmentally friendly as a glider – its clever petrol-electric hybrid engine returns an incredible 300mpg!

Despite its eco-friendly credentials, the Aptera can sprint from 0-60mph in 10 seconds and hit 95mph. Inside, there’s room for two adults, a child and luggage. And the interior boasts all the kit you’d expect from its sci-fi looks, with a rear view camera, sat-nav, a hi-tech sound system and even solar-assisted climate control.

The three-wheeler is only available in the US at the moment – although it could be imported here – priced from £14,709. There’s also an all-electric version which costs £13,232. This has similar performance as the hybrid and a range of 120 miles from only a few hours’ charge.
