Italdesign and Airbus unveiled the 'Pop.Up', the world's first fully electric, zero emission, drone-carried vehicle, at the Geneva International Motor Show on Tuesday. The 'flying car' was designed to help relieve traffic congestion in cities by simply flying out of traffic. The car's driver sits in a frame that is fitted within an autonomous car. When traffic builds up, the driver has the opportunity to escape through calling a drone on their iPhone to wherever they are sitting. The drone then lifts the capsule into the air, and carries it and the driver off to unpolluted freedom. Of course, flying cars present many problems with air traffic control and safety, so the technology is not quite ready for mass adoption, but the concept is exciting. How you you like to simply fly up and over traffic in Airbus' Pop.Up drone lifted car?

Munich (Germany), Sep 7 (EFE / EPA).- (Camera: Sascha Steinbach) The International Motor Show in Germany, this year under the slogan "What will move us soon", takes place this year in Munich and it will have numerous world premieres and will have a special focus on electric mobility and digitization.FOOTAGE OF THE INTERNATIONAL AUTOMOBILE SHOW IN MUNICH, GERMANY.
German steelworkers art group 'Giants of Steel have made their way into this year's Essen Motor Show with their latest one of a kind creation, a Porsche GT3 RS made out of scrap metal. The art installation has no engine in it and is instead intended as a tribute to the iconic German car. Around 20,000 scrap metal parts were used in its production. It reportedly weighs 1,300 kilogrammes and was built by a three-person team.
The $1.6 million Venom F5 hypercar from American carmaker Hennessey made its 'global' debut at the Geneva International Motor Show on Tuesday. The carmaker claims that the F5 Venom is able to reach a top speed of over 300mph, which would make it the world’s fastest production vehicle. The lightweight chassis and carbon fibre bodywork give the F5 a curb weight of just under 3000 pounds, not the lightest supercar around. It remains to be seen whether the Venom F5 can actually deliver on the 300mph promise.
The McLaren Senna GTR was unveiled to the public at the Geneva International Motor Show in the Palexpo convention centre on Tuesday. Inspired by Formula 1 icon Ayrton Senna, the $1million supercar is made of lightweight carbon fibre and comes in five colours, including the same yellow and green scheme used by Senna. Each Senna GTR takes over 1,000 hours to produce, which contributes to the eye-watering price tag.
