NEW YORK - You don't see this many cameraphones pulled out in this town
short of a Britney Spears sighting. We sure as heck haven't seen as many
wide-eyed onlookers for a car here before. "Does it fly?" asked one of the
dozens of New Yorkers crammed outside the Hearst Tower as the Aptera Typ-1e
electric vehicle pulled up to accept its Breakthrough Award.
No, the Aptera doesn't fly, but it can hit 120 miles per gallon right now,
and it's headed for production this fall. We already took the first Aptera
test drive last December, so we let our Jalopnik buddy Ray Wert sit shotgun
for a trip around the block as the aerodynamically awesome car, on its first
trip to the East Coast, made its way around the corner to tonight's
Breakthrough Conference and Awards Presentation, where other winners in
alternative energy-as well as space, appropriate technology and much
more-are already wowing the crowds. Even legendary astronaut and PM
editorial advisory board member Buzz Aldrin walked away impressed. See his
and the Big Apple's reaction with the gallery at left, and stay tuned for
much more live coverage right here.
