Sure it's pricy....

but who can put a price on a FLYING CAR!

$119k. 115mph on the street, 1.0 ecoboost engine. Wow... it's everything I've ever wanted.

For an extremely prohibitive cost

If that works half as well as an Ultra-lite aircraft... they will be gazillionaires. I am going to have to re-think my next project build if "flying berkeleying ATV" is a real thing.

I shudder to think of the carnage when these things sell on the used market for less than 10 grand and the air is thick with them during the morning commute. Holy moron mortality, Batman!

I don't see any rear drive half-shafts in those pictures. I clicked the link to "Skyrunner" and you can clearly see them there. So I guess you can get one with NO road ability . . . or that is a picture of a flight test prototype.

At 10,000ft. I sure would want a bright strobe light on that thing. It just wouldn't do to have a fast fixed wing with a sight seeing pilot cut your lines.

Powered parachute, while they don't require a terribly long field to takeoff or land, do need a broad one-- takeoffs and landings need to be done into the wind. Any significant crosswind and the roll-over risk is pretty high.

So, you shouldn't have to worry too much about them taking off or landing on the freeway in front of you!

So when the crosswinds blow my old truck two feet into the next lane over, the guy above me in one if these is what? Totally screwed that's what!

OK, I want one of these....

Seems cool. Cost looks to be completely ridiculous for what it is...

It will be interesting to see how many manual SS's they sell. Cool car. Very small market.

Oh man, I can see these being a huge hit with moneyed rednecks. I also suspect they will fall from the sky with amazing regularity once the "hold my beer" crowd gets ahold of them.

115 mph on the ground? That seems to be a stretch.

Molt Taylor did it better in the 50s.

I'm not worried about that. At that price, they'll sell 3.

That looks like a fun and rather timely death to me. I think I will pass though if it's all the same.

for that price, I'll just buy a Miata and used Cessna and call it a day....
