    PAL-V PIONEER

    esembling a cross between a helicopter and a car, this extraordinary vehicle will both drive and fly. In drive mode, it’s a low-slung three-wheeler capable of up to 160km/h with its 100hp engine. Switch to flight mode, and the propeller at the back can push it to 180km/h with a 400km range. Being a gyrocopter, the rotor blades on top provide lift and are turned solely by the forward motion of the vehicle. It allies Italian style and finish with solid Dutch engineering and the price includes mandatory training. It runs on normal petrol, weighs just 664kg and is only 1.7m high in drive mode – not so different from the tender in your garage.
