  • Tesla create a real flying car !
  • Look inside
  • Barely 1 second of flying autonomy. More like a jumping car, or a falling with style car.

    Gonna be interesting when some guy tries to impress a girl on his barely-flying car only for it to fall flat because the whatever gas tank was empty

    They aren't even available for purchase so using it in a demo was literally just investor circle jerking.

    Technically they're "available for purchase by invitation only" but im sure that was added for legal purposes.

    Peak weirdness was around 2012 with this thing:

    (Nissan Deltawing)

    The punk peugeot was a bit oout of ordinary in the latest years, nowadays they all look very similar, but at least the races are good!

    The LM-GTP (a continuation of the GT1 class) class was dropped in the early 2000s.

    After it was consolidated along with the LMP900 class into a new LMP1 class. While LMP675 class was dropped.

    LMP1 continued under various rulesets up until 2021. When the ACO and IMSA merged their two respected top classes.

    Creating the Hypercar class across both series. Made up of cars following either the FIA Hypercar or LMDh formula.

    I was hoping the latest ruleset would bring a few homologation specials, but alas not. In my opinion homologation specials from both Le Mans and Rally have brought forth some of the most iconic cars of all time, it's a shame that's gone away.

    Isn't the Aston Martin Valkyrie sorta a homoligation special?

    But... yeah. I thought Koenigsegg would do one for sure, given their first car was literally built for GT1.

  • It's not about the flying car, it's about sticking the landing

    It failed to fly. It did some monster jam style jump on a ramp and landed with air jets. That’s it. It didn’t fly for even a second.
