Moller International have predicted a flying car named The ‘Autovolantor’ could be reality within two years. It is based on a Ferrari 599 GTB.
The car is expected to be able to do 100mph on the ground and 150mph in the air. The calculated airborne range is 75 miles and ground range is 150 miles.
Designer Bruce Calkins says the car features a specially designed hybrid fuel and electric system to power the thrusters, creating as much as 800 horse power. He believes it will be able to fly at altitudes of up to 5,000ft.
Estimated cost of having this puppy parked on your rooftop is around $641K!!!

i think this is crazy.. it’s like when they invented the car and made it look like a horse-drawn carriage.. just not good enough!
i think it takes a looooooot more new and profound thinking, innovation and design to realize the idea!
why make it look like a car!? the concept seems to primitive to me.
why not think of a completely NEW design!?

if the wings are not modular, there is no way it could be able to be classified as a car. the design will have to be able to adapt to our current standards of circulation which include roads and highways.
