The Lambor\u00ADghini green two-seater&amp;#039;s mild steel-tube frame has Honda Civic front-suspension pieces and rear fabricated swing arms. The 80 lithium-ion battery cells run down the car&amp;#039;s spine and energize the front-mounted 58-hp electric motor. Its straightforward engineering makes it a dark-horse contender.  &amp;amp;gt; X-Prize Entrant: Aptera 2e &amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt;  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
