It looks like a futuristic racing craft from a video game popular more than 25 years ago.
But this insect-like flying car should soon be a reality.
French company Maca says it plans to test its eco-friendly £665,000 hydrogen-powered ‘carcopter’ on racetracks this year.
It will have a top speed of 155mph, meaning a pilot onboard the 23ft craft can give Formula One stars a run for their money.
But unlike the gas-guzzling machines driven by Sir Lewis Hamilton and co, this vehicle does not create any CO2 emissions and is fully recyclable.
The firm hopes carcopter racing may even replace F1 as a sport.
