Footage of world first $300,000 flying car leaves everybody saying the same thing

The car has a UFO-like presence in the sky

Footage has been captured of the world’s first flying car and it has left everybody saying the same thing.

The futuristic vehicle costs $300,000 and can fly in the sky but it doesn’t quite look like something out of Back to the Future.

And its 'odd' aesthetic has got everyone making the same comment about it.

Instead of looking like what it is - which is a car that can fly - it actually resembles a striking likeness to a massive drone.

The electric flying car called Model Zero was designed by Alef Aeronautics.

On the company’s website, it says: “Designed to drive on the street, take off vertically when needed and fly overhead above traffic, we’re building the solution to the issues of modern congestion.”

For the price of $300,000, you could own a flying car for yourself, which has a driving range of 200 miles and a flying range of 110 miles.

Although, there’s a catch, the vehicle can only reach speeds on the ground of just 25 miles an hour, so it might be best to leave the long road trips for the air.

And that isn’t the only feature that has got people talking after many have likened the vehicle to that of a giant drone.

Taking to social media, one user wrote: “It’s not a flying car. It’s a drone with a lightweight mock-up body.The way it moves tells us it weighs almost nothing.”

Another said: “it’s just a quadrocopter drone with a car shell. You can hear how stupidly loud it Is like a drone on a megaphone.”

A third person commented: “Wait until a gust of wind picks up and let's see how it fares lol.”

A fourth said: “I got enough problems as it is, the last thing I need is the fear of a flying car falling on me.”

A fifth wrote: “Where’s the flying car, I just see a drone with a light weight car body over it.”

A sixth user argued: “When these scammers will stop making large drones and calling it a flying car.”

And a seven person added: “Imagine the car accidents that will be happening in the sky.”

Despite the criticisms of its looks, Alef Aeronautics say it has had 3,200 preorders.

CEO of the firm, Jim Dukhovny, said: “With a growing number of pre-orders and approaching its final design, Alef began to sign agreements to prepare for mass manufacturing for our Model A car.

“Safety is our number one priority, so we chose PUCARA Aero and MYC for their impeccable safety record, and compliance with major aviation authorities.”
