    For the price of a CGT you get 610km/h top speed



    Best solution for traffic jams and speed limits, the Skycar M400

    A "car" with 645HP and 610km/h top speed, 1450km automony and 29,000 feet max altitude.
    Bet you would like this Pierre?

    Read all about the Skycar here.

    Looks like a cross between a Harrier jump jet and a dune buggy.

    Check out the hover test videos!

    I think not. Go to the site I posted above and watch the hover test video. It sounds like 4 lawn mowers going at once, which sort of makes sense

    I suppose you could always "hum" F1 sounds, like a child once in the air?

    That's what they used to write about the predecessors of the Skycar back in the '50s in Popular Science.

    And could you enjoy your meal if you took it to a restaurant with valet parking?

    Pierre,

    I listened to that sound track for a full 10 minutes, and there was no BANG!, so I'm guessing it was not a genuine Mercedes F1 engine recording!
