Worlds 1st Flying Electric Car takes off in South Australian desert ahead of FORMULA 1 races.

Alauda Racing, the Australian startup eVTOL, has revealed the Airspeeder Mk3, which it calls “the world’s first electric flying race car ready to race.

The sleek single-seat quadcopter is designed to compete with ten other counterparts at a tournament later this year, though without human pilots on board, unsurprisingly high safety risks.

“The world’s first electric flying car races will take place this year and will be the most exciting and progressive motorsport on the planet” .

The Airspeeder Mk3 is certainly a looker, rocking a 50s F1 racing car vibe and boasting a strong and stiff carbon fiber frame and fuselage that keeps things light at 100 kg (220 lb) unmanned, and lays the groundwork for the full carbon fiber monocoque body of the manned Mk4.

Its 96-kW electric powertrain is expected to see the Mk3 travel at speeds of more than 120 km/h (75 mph), with Alauda saying that the X-shaped configuration of the vehicle’s eight rotors – mounted in four pairs – will enable F1-like hairpin turns while being airborne should offer even more thrills.
