It’s some shit you’d see on mythbusters. Just strapping a bunch of compressed air tanks on a car shell to see if it could jump like in the movie:____ like they’d always do with movie magic stuff. Movies used a lot of practical effects back in the day so this would’ve been right up their alley.

It is cool as shit

What immediately wrecks it are the assertions that the model sold is totally going to have those capabilities.

The downforce fan, sure. The cold jet thrusters? Lmao

It will but it won't be road legal.

There are 3 different versions.

I'd be surprised if they ever sold a model with this stuff attached other than as a marketing gimmick. Forget street legal someone does this at home and they are going to just end up flipping the car over or landing straight upside down and crush the car with them inside it. Its literally a button that causes the car to crash.

It won't be physics legal. That's the issue.
