Future Cars

Cars and other extraordinary vehicles... These cars drive or fly or dive and they jump.
You can already buy them, you can move with, but not without feeling eccentric ...

Terrafugia Transition

The prototype of the first true flying car made its first flight in a long range in February 2009.

The wings are to go on road and this is done in an automated fashion from the cockpit as opposed to competing prototypes.
Obviously, with this kind of car it is guaranteed to arouse curiosity, more than in Aptera.
This machine is being developed since 2006 with the help of engineers from the famous MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and will therefore finally prove itself ... if the attempt is a success!
