Flying Porsche

German carmaker Porsche is teaming up with aerospace giant Boeing to build a resplendent flying car a speedy and elegant way for the ultra-wealthy to glide over frustrated peasants stuck in road traffic below.

Porsche is looking to enhance its scope as a sports car manufacturer by becoming a leading brand for premium mobility, said Porsche exec Detlev von Platen in a press release. In the longer term, this could mean moving into the third dimension of travel.

According to Boeing NeXt executive Steve Nordlund, the partnership will provide an opportunity to investigate the development of a premium urban air mobility vehicle with a leading automotive brand. Emphasis on premium this isnt going to be an aircraft for the average Joe.

Fittingly, the renders are gorgeous, with sleek accented lines that seemingly are inspired by Porsches iconic car designs.

Neither Boeing nor Porsche are the first companies to try for the elusive flying car market.
