The Detroit Auto Show served as the perfect stage for the various brands in the automotive sector to present their new products. Ford, for example, unveiled the seventh generation Mustang. However, the company AERWINS Technologies, which unveiled its flying motorcycle, attracted most of the attention.
It didn’t take long for attention to be focused on this particular vehicle. According to the manufacturer, this innovative means of transportation has been named XTURISMO and will be marketed in the United States starting next year.
The flying car is currently on sale in Japan, where interested parties can access the company’s official website to start the reservation process. However, so much technology brings as a consequence a negative factor: the price, as it is listed at $770,000 dollars.
However, the manufacturer is aware of the high cost of the XTURISMO, so they say they are working on a much smaller model that will reach the market in 2025 and cost around $50,000.
