The folks at Parajet have just completed their second prototype flying buggy named the Skyrunner. It isn’t cheap at $120,000, but how many options does one have for a flying car? The Skyrunner is a high powered all-terrain car that doubles as a fan powered paraglider. The 125 horsepower four-cylinder engine can achieve land speeds of up to 115 mph and gets to 62 mph in 4.3 seconds.
Details and video of the Parajet Skyrunner after the break.
