While flying cars may seem like a 12-year-old’s dream, technology has finally gotten us to a place where a personal airborne vehicle is\u00a0actually<\/em> possible and feasible to produce. Dutch manufacturer PAL-V<\/strong>\u00a0is the company behind the\u00a0Liberty<\/strong><\/a>, which was recently showcased at this year’s Geneva Motor Show.<\/p>\n

The Liberty, which has the ability to get you from A to B on tarmac or take to the skies if the driver (pilot?) wishes to do so, has a 200 horsepower engine that can push it to 160 km\/h and 180km\/h on road or by air respectively.<\/p>\n

Of course, while this is aimed at the public, there are two hurdles: an eye-watering \u20ac300,000 price tag, and the requirement of a pilot and drivers license in order to purchase one.<\/p>\n

The Liberty <\/strong>is currently going through its final steps of safety certification and will likely go on sale from 2019.<\/p>\n

Despite it\u2019s incredibly high price, it will seemingly be cheaper to own and maintain that the average helicopter, while also doubling as a car. So, if you’re tired of sitting in gridlocked traffic, start putting some bucks away for your very-own Pal-V Liberty!<\/p>\n

While it is incredible pricey, it’s still doesn’t even make the list of the most expensive cars in the world<\/a>! But if you’d like to get your hands on a great car deal in the meantime, check out PriceCheck Cars!<\/a><\/p>\n
