That there is a half-car/half-helicopter hybrid concept developed by ZEEP Design.  Have flying cars finally arrived?  Well, no.  However ZEEP has created a concept that is very much a Transformers 3-worthy addition, converting from a car to a helicopter and back.  The rear proppeller utilizes magic to descend and become the rear tire as the front “hub” spins forward.  The design is extremely basic and geometric, consisting of little more than some extruded shapes and fancy kinematics.

Impractical? Yes.  Cool?  Possibly.

We’ll reserve judgement until flying cars become a reality… in the year two thousannnnnnnd!
