Now does a consumer car remotely need that? Lol, no. But whatever, showman gonna showman, so he had his people gank that and stick the auto-righting landing system from one of their rockets to a car and there you go, razzle dazzle party trick.
But he's still a stupid fascist prick, so who cares.
Now a better question is "will they actually release a consumer version that can do any of that" and
iunno, maybe? But it would be sooooo fucking expensive and I don't know if it'd be road legal uh, anywhere?
So yes, in the same way that you can also technically buy a personal jetpack.
Ah, and I'm guessing it really is just that aero system plus the jets in a hollow shell then because, lol
Which is to say, pure party trick, no of course you won't be driving this
@glassbottommeg Can you make a 4-wheeled vehicle do that? Yes.
Is every 4-wheeled vehicle a car? No.
If it was a car, would it be street-legal? Also no.
@j_bertolotti @glassbottommeg Scott Mansell has been working on a project to drive a car upside down just with traditional aero and a very specialised track. Obviously hugely expensive, not sure if it's still ongoing. But based on a hillclimb car that could be made road legal with a little effort. https://driver61.com/formula-one/project-inversion-driving-f1-car-upside-down/
@glassbottommeg yeah my first thought was, this could make a cool practical effect in a James Bond movie but literally useless for any other use case.
