There hasn’t been much progress on flying cars, but now you can own a flying motorcycle, as long as you’re willing to pay half a million dollars for the privilege.
Ludovic Lazareth’s LVM 496 flying motorcycle looks sleek and futuristic in red and black, with turbines that allow it to take flight on the sides. Only five of these vehicles will ever be made, and they come at a hefty price. Luckily, anyone can enjoy the photos and videos of this futuristic design.
