Exclamation Covered Car Image on Update Aptera Site

Dunno if anyone's noticed this teaser image or not...



http://www.aptera.com/vehicles.php

Looks like another vehicle with a GM Saturn-esque profile, in front of a covered up fatSO-1 silhouette...

One can make out different headlights, hood, frontal width and a low air intake shape, between front wheels. None of these conform to known Aptera models.

Looks like it could be Palomar.

Had the same thought myself. It's definitely a different front end design. No wheel pods. In combination with the airflow screen shot you can get hints of the new design.

It doesn't look like a rendering so they have been building something.

We weren’t sure who to benchmark, so we figured we should let everybody else benchmark us.

This statement on that page is so funny... I FORGOT TO LAUGH!!!!!!

If the benchmark is, "How fast does Aptera bring anything to market", then they fail the test...

And then we find out those were prototypes, and Aptera will be rebadging Tata Nanos or something.

I believe....or the current employees tell me that the one on the left is a foam buck of the 4 wheel object. The Vehicle under the cover on the right looks like a PP vehicle.
