Inspired by nature, engineered by men and evolved over time, the PAL-V Liberty is a groundbreaking product that inaugurates the age of the flying car. The PAL-V Liberty is a marriage between safety and fun, designed to satisfy the most demanding customers. In the last decades, the Netherlands has been recognized worldwide for its breakthroughs in technology and product engineering. We are proud that some of the Dutch most skillful engineers have put blood, sweat and tears into creating a trailblazing flying car out of a mere fantasy, all in conformity with the highest safety standards.
The world’s first commercial flying car was presented in Geneva this year. The flying car is called the Liberty and PAL-V, a UK-founded Dutch firm, says the car-planehelicopter-thing is a historic breakthrough in the evolution of flying cars. It's not exactly a jet fuel powered car but a three-wheeled flying contraption and the rotors do not go up automatically, rather, there's some manual labour involved. However, the transformation is a quick one and in just 5 to 10 minutes you're all set to take to the sky. The Liberty gets its flying power from a pair of Rotax aircraft engines and has been designed to comply with both road and air regulations in Europe and the U.S. On the road, the PAL-V liberty makes just 100 hp and can travel up to 161 km/h. in flight mode, it can hit a max speed of 180 km/h and has 200 hp. It can transport up to 2 people.
If you think flying cars are a science fiction technology which might appear sometime in the distant future, think again. The age of the Jetsons is upon us and, believe it or not, some flying cars are soon going into mass production. Two real life flying cars, including the PAL V Liberty and the AeroMobil, were showcased at the Monaco Top Marques Auto Show. The PAL V Liberty is now for sale and first deliveries are expected by the end of 2018. The other flying vehicle on show is the AeroMobil. While the PAL V Libery has a retractable helicopter rotor, the AeroMobil has retractable wings and can take off and land from commercial airports and even from highways, if necessary. The Slovakian-made AeroMobil can reach a top speed of 100mph in the street and 124 mph in the sky. Take-off is possible with a minimum speed of 60mph. AeroMobil has a flying range of 500 miles and can carry two passenger. It costs $1.3 million to pre-order, requires a pilot's license, and is only certified in Europe. Welcome to the age of the Jetsons
The Renault Clio has been an uninterrupted hit since its launch in 1990 – and 16 million of them have been sold worldwide so far! It has been named France’s favourite car, become an international bestseller and won two Car of the Year awards in Europe. It has been one of the most emblematic city cars in the market for five generations. And it has now reinvented itself, becoming a perfect illustration of the Renault brand’s “Nouvelle Vague” brimming with its latest breakthroughs.
The “Electric Racing Car of the Year” award was presented to the fully-electrically driven Volkswagen ID.R at the “Race Night” on the eve of the Essen Motor Show. This year’s auto show (30 November to 8 December 2019) is once again proving to be a major attraction for car and motorsport fans from all over Europe. The prize, awarded by Auto Bild sportscars and Auto Bild motorsport, acknowledges the technology and successes of the 500 kW (680 PS) electric racing car, which has set five records in four countries, on three continents, in the past two years.“I am delighted that the ID.R has been chosen as the racing car of the year in the Electro category this year”, says Volkswagen Motorsport Director Sven Smeets, who picked up the prize at the Race Night. “I receive the trophy as a representative of the entire Volkswagen Motorsport team, which has performed so magnificently over the past two years. This prize also acknowledges the engineers and technicians behind the project, who are often away from the limelight but contribute hugely to its success.”
