Race Inspired Road Car
Touted as “Race Inspired and Road Legal”, the AP-0 features extensive carbon fiber to keep the weight down. Its rear fin draws inspiration from a formula one car and the large rear diffuser is reminiscent of something you’d see on the back of a modern Le Mans racecar.

Dynamic Front Graphics
The front features a dynamic, three-piece light pattern and blacked-out grille. However, this being an electric car, instead of a normal grille function, two slotted ducts are located on each side below the headlights. Their purpose is to move air through and around the vehicle.

Bold Rear Taillights
The taillights of the AP-0 are dynamic and unique. They feature a full-width lamp as well as a vertical middle piece. They are truly unlike anything on the road today, making the AP-0 look more like a futuristic fighter than a modern sports car.

Seeded Details
Layered details add to a meticulous fit and finish for the AP-0. A carbon fiber weave can be seen throughout the vehicle. This combined with a carbon-fiber tub, helps the vehicle keep its weight down to an impressive 2,645 pounds despite being electric.
