    VW Hover Car

    This looks like it would fun to play with...

    The Volkswagen Hover Concept Car is a pod-like zero-emissions vehicle that uses electromagnetic road networks to float above the road.

      It's not a real car. Volkswagen had some Chinese design students come up with some future car ideas and the hover car was chosen to use in a commercial. China is now the worlds largest car market and Volkswagen wants a big piece of that pie. They are going to use Chinese designers to design Volkswagens for the Chinese market.

        That video looks fake as fuck to me. And while I can definitely buy the idea of a magnetic car, I do NOT buy the idea mentioned in the video that the car "floats" above mineral deposits in the ground.

        Now if you had roads with magnetic metal down the middle of them, the concept would be a lot more realistic.

              I'll wait for the hover-conversions...

              Why settle for something you have, if it's not as good as something you're out to get?
