A YOUTUBER test drove the world's most futuristic motor that can run for 1,000 miles on solar power.
The bizarre-looking three-wheeled car even boasts a 'sleep pod' in the rear that can open out using a hidden button to reveal enough space to sleep two adults.

YouTube star FaZe Rug took to his channel to show off the incredible vehicle called the Aptera - a one-of-a-kind EV designed by Aptera Motors.
FaZe said: "I was scrolling through Instagram the other day and I saw this crazy car that looked like it was from the future and I didn't even know if it was real or fake."
After exchanging messages with Aptera Motors, they agreed to allow the social media sensation to take a prototype of their car for a test run in a video that's already gained over three million views.
In the clip, FaZe shows off it's unique features - including doors that open by touch, solar panels, a bizarre sleeping area and "freaky" three wheels.
FaZe explained: "This car is a two-seater but as you can see in the back you could fit a surfboard.
"But it's also designed to actually sleep two people, so if you're on a road trip you don't have to worry about a place to stay - you can just park your car and sleep in the back seat."
Fans of the YouTuber were amazed by the odd-looking car, with one writing in the comments:"That car is amazing, I can’t wait to see how technology takes cars into the next level."
According to the Aptera's website, the two-seat battery driven EV uses just 100Wh of energy per mile - making it 2.5 times as energy efficient as the Tesla Model 3.
With the ability to travel 1,000 miles when fully-charged, Aptera believe that - since most American drivers drive less than 30 miles per day - many would seldom or never need to charge the car.
While the Aptera isn't available to buy just yet, it can be reserved via the Amercian firm's website with a price tag of just $33,000, or around £26,000.
