This is for real.
To meet FAA regulations, it goes only upto 10 feet, but that should take care of most traffic jams

Thats not a car, it looks like a flying saucer.

That doesn't resemble a car from any angle.
Don't know who might be crazy enough to buy such thing.

i don't see the point! and for 90k!! you'd need a flying saucer head to buy one of those.

i cannot see it being anything more than a next-gen hovercraft.

it looks like a rather old video- notice the photographer dude's clothes and hair- very retro -late 80's type.

Also if this is how it works I Am NOT buying this!

no way am i getting my hands on this, did you guys see the video - what a lame take of i aint getting close to this, what a waste for 36 lakhs.

we can wait for flying cars, when we drive at the speed of sound!

I'd be queasy buying a car - esp one thats off the ground; from someone whose name rhymes with Jalopy.

No offense to anyone

Mahesh, knowing how ''choosey" you are about the roads you drive on this could be a welcome change. You should buy one I say. Then you could fly around the world just to reach from Bangalore to Mangalore

That was downright hilarious. Wonder how many other cars it would have to wreck before a take off or a landing at a parking lot. On second thoughts one could be setting records of sorts on that count.
