It’s like M.A.S.K, but probably safer

Guys that were kids in the 80’s, you remember M.A.S.K, right? It was the cartoon that had the F1 car that turned into a jet and a jet that turned into a copter. The one you probably remember the most is the Camaro that turned into a jet, the doors opening up gull-wing style to allow it to fly.

The Transition is like that, except infinitely safer.

See, the Transition’s doors don’t open the car up, thereby preventing the risk of the driver from tumbling out the car while doing a barrel roll in mid-flight. Terrafugia will present the flying car this week at the New York Auto Show. The vehicle can fly up to 100 miles per hour for nearly 500 miles and with premium unleaded gas, can get almost 35 miles per gallon. Private pilots are saying it’s not so much a car as more something you might be from a super high-end Sharper Image. Or Sky Mall.

Frankly, I don’t care, as long as I get to fly. FINALLY.
