The breathtaking clip has generated fierce arguments—Is this the transport of the future? How is it possible?

Real or staged? Rs 2.6 crore flying car lifts off in jaw-dropping viral footage

A California car maker has just made sci-fi a reality! In a mind-blowing viral video, the Alef Model Zero—a sleek, high-tech electric car—can be seen floating effortlessly off the ground and soaring over a parked vehicle on a city street. Alef Aeronautics, the firm responsible for this historic vehicle, describes it as the "first-ever test of a drive-and-vertical takeoff in an urban environment." The video has evoked both wonder and suspicion, with some declaring it a transportation revolutionary breakthrough and others wondering if it's all hype.


Alef CEO Jim Dukhovny likened the experience to that of the Wright Brothers' seminal first flight, referring to it as a "proof of technology" that holds the potential to redefine mobility. The vehicle functions through distributed electric propulsion, an innovative mesh-layered propeller system. While its highest speed is so far only 25 mph, orders are going through the roof—more than 3,000 pre-orders have already been taken, and each unit carries a whopping Rs 2.6 crore ($300,000) price tag.

"Looks like bad CGI": Internet reacts to viral Rs 2.6 crore flying car

While the video of a flying car gliding smoothly above traffic left some amazed, most were far from impressed. Many accused the footage of being faked, with one user simply saying, "Why does it look like bad CGI?" Others wrote it off as nothing more than a large drone masquerading as a car.


Skepticism didn't end there. One unconvinced commenter contended, "I don't get how you fix traffic by leaping over it. Sure, it benefits the one leaping, but what about the 100 others trapped below?" Another chimed in, "Imagine if all cars could leap—madness in the air!"


In spite of skepticism, the video has sparked discussion regarding the transport of the future. Real or not, or a marketing hoax, the "flying car" has got the internet abuzz.
