Of course people aren’t going to drive it. For a start, it wouldn’t even be road legal. Furthermore, the amount of thrust they needed to pull off this stunt was likely used up to do the stunt. It’s not as if there’s enough available to actually fly it for many miles.

A car doesn't need to be road legal to drive it. No one's claiming it'll be able to fly for miles too

It needs to be legal to sell it.

No it doesn't, how do you think people by racecars? Road legal means it can drive on public roads, you can ride anything on private roads/tracks.

You think anyone is actually going to get in this car while it does a barrel roll in the air? They aren’t going to be permitted to manufacture and sell this. Believe it or not, even race cars have safety standards.

Contracts can sign away dangerous stuff. This car will be invite only.

Exactly. So a gimmick. Not a truly purchasable car. However, I’d be willing to bet that no one ever actually gets in this thing. If anyone does, it will be a stuntman who wants to prove he can do it. There’s no real market here.
