Reserve Your Own Flying Car

When we first heard about Terrafugia, the company developing one of the first flying cars that would also be able to drive on the roads, there was not yet a fully-functional, working prototype, but it is being built. The Transition drives like a car and can lower its 27-ft retractable wings when lift-off is required. It has a top speed of 130mph in the air, and gets about 30mpg whether flying or running on the road. Though the final designs are debuting this week, the cars will not be available to the public until 2009. You can put down a 5% deposit on the projected price of $148,000 right now to reserve one, though the final price is not guaranteed as of yet.
