I ran across a new green vehicle design that is quite intriguing. A car developed by Aptera Motors aspires to greater than 
100 miles per gallon! You can find out the details at http://www.aptera.com/. The sleek aerodynamic design is like crossing a Chrysler Prowler with a peapod. It looks as sporty to drive as a Formula One car. Interestingly it looks very reminiscent of a similar attempt when the technology didn’t do the design justice. Starting before World War II and into the 50’s, Messerchmitt produced a three wheel car,
the KR-200 series. What comes around, goes around, especially when it comes to motor vehicles. The intersting notion is that entrepreneurs keep trying. And of course, new macnufacturing techniques and design materials can have an
impact on how viable your product can be. If you’re interested in seeing many more KR-200’s you can visit the micro car museum and take a virtual tour at http://microcarmuseum.com/index.html .

These few minutes quickly add up to expensive man-hours. See the tips here.. paper
