“In creating an undivided, new style of transportation known as the flying car, we chose the keyword‘ progressive ’for inspiration,” said director Takumi Yamamote.
“We wanted this vehicle to be futuristic, impressive and desirable for all future customers, while fully incorporating Skydrive’s high technology.
