Doesn't look very sports car-ish on the track. I've seen the tilting suspension thing on another tv show and apparently it fangs around corners like a motorbike only with better traction.

People need to learn to drive before they go through stop signs with one of these things

That is actually pretty cool. I thought it was going to be about this:
www.wired.com/2012/04/the-flying-cars-are-coming-to-the-new-york-auto-show/

Which is inferior in every way. Except range and speed in air, probably.

There were great hopes for the moller flying car, which has been a fizzer for 15 years and will probably never happen.

The best way to get to work of all of them is probably the martin jetpack which is selling now:
martinjetpack.com/

When batteries take the next quantum leap, we should see this aussie contra rotating personal heli that was on 'new inventors' which is my personal favourite. Maybe someone else can find the link to that one.

there is already a contra - rotating helicopter on the market @ US$35k.
"GEN H4" Gene Corporation. made in Japan.
4 x 125cc engines, 4 x 2m blades.
undercarriage reminds me of an ironing board!
I have no idea of speed, range etc.

Might be a good concept...like the windsurfable sup (or sup'able w/surfer), great as a crossover, but not rated when you look at the 'individual' performance - re; how does it rate against a sports car? how does it rate against a chopper?

Got to give these inventors credit where it's due though!
