Flying cars are not a dream anymore. We realized that long before the demonstration of Terrafugia and PAL-V flying cars. Despite their ugly look, those vehicles performed well in its’ own ways. But, what if there’s a flying car with a more stylish design? That’s exactly what this new AeroMobil flying car has to offer.
The AeroMobil was developed by a designer named Stefan Klein from the Slovak Republic. You can watch him flying the prototype car in the first flight demonstration video. According to Gizmag, he has been making this vehicle for 20 years. The latest version, Aeromobil V2.5 features 100 hp Rotax 912 water cooled engine and a beautifully designed body with stylish tail fins and wings that folds to the back of the vehicle which provide more aerodynamic boost when driving on the ground.

The vehicle weighs about 980 lb (450 kg) and has a wingspan of 8.2 m (27 ft). The AeroMobil tops in at 200 kph (124 mph) and boasts a range of over 700 km (430 miles) in flight mode. From the looks of it, this flying car is far better than previously unveiled flying vehicles as it not only offers better mileage but also has a stunning design. Now the only question is, when will we finally get to drive one of these?
