World’s First Flying SkyCar Launch

By Queuebot in Auto & Transportation on Jan 23, 2009 at 3:09 am

It looks awesome but will it fly … or will it blend? I do believe this is what we all wanted as a kid … lucky guys!

A group of daredevils set sail on the ultimate magical childhood dream adventure today, traveling in a flying car for a 42 day journey from London to Timbuktu — a place that’s had a mystical, “middle of nowhere” reputation for decades. The ‘Parajet Skycar’ can change from ground to flying mode in a mere 3 minutes, and will make the epic 3,600-mile (5,800-kilometer) journey by both land and air.

No thank you! Cars have tires for a reason, and that reason isn’t to be careening through the air. Yikes!

This *is* the stuff of dreams: Magical transportation. Plucky friends. Exotic destinations. Dangerous routes.

I am not sure if I want the film to be made by Disney or EON.

I’m not usually one to cry “FAKE!”, but some of those pictures they had looked really badly photoshopped. Did anyone else notice that?

Although they did have the video showing it lifting off for a bit on the beach.

When I read that write-up, all I can hear is Jeremy Clarkson.

No, Justin, I agree completely. All the ones of it flying look too shiny and they all appear to be at *exactly* the same angles.

Are they supposed to be shots of “what it’s supposed to look like if it works” or something? Because they really give off the photoshopped vibe.
