I drove the world’s most futuristic car… it has three wheels & hidden button to open ‘sleeping pod’ in the back

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: "This vehicle is a game changer - aerodynamics always were the most underrated and most overlooked part of car design."

And another wrote: "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.

First motor WITHOUT a rear window will launch in the UK

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.

This comes as the final MINI Clubman rolled off the production line after 55 years - with a replacement EV already lined up.

Elsewhere, Red Bull F1 team are all set to release their incredible hypercar - their first ever road legal motor - designed by iconic engineer Adrian Newey.
