Former NASA Engineers who have finally designed this new vehicle claim their invention might be the long-awaited dream come true about a flying car.

Terrafugia Transition is the name of the first flying car with wings that fold up automatically, at a push of a button from the cockpit and the entire process of it turning from a two-seat care into a flying craft lasts 15 seconds according to British Daily Mail. The flying test is scheduled this month, February, and if passes, it is expected to be released on the market in 18 months.

So far, 40 vehicles have been ordered already. According to Carl Dietrich, Head of Terrafugia, this is the first really integrated design where the wings fold up automatically and all the parts are in one vehicle.

The vehicle is powered by a 100 brake horsepower engine and the manufacturer claims one tank of petrol for its use at the cost of 132,000 pounds, same price of Bentley or Ferrari.

The eternal dream for million of drivers trapped in traffic jams will finally come true. May I could also buy this car... hehehe...
