Airspeeder Mk3 has been officially revealed as the first-ever electric flying race car. It is a full-sized electric VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) vehicle, which will compete in a first-of-its-kind flying car racing series in the second half of 2021. The series will feature unmanned Airspeeder Mk3 race cars, which will be remotely controlled.
The Airspeeder Mk3 is capable of achieving a speed of 120 kmph (75 mph), and can turn much faster than a regular helicopter or a winged aircraft, thanks to the double rotors present on the four corners. The vehicle is rated at a peak power of 429 BHP, which is quite a lot for a machine that weighs just 130 kg.
The 0 to 100 kmph (0 to 62 mph) sprint is claimed to take just around 2.8 seconds, which is impressively quick. The Airspeeder Mk3 will also take pitstops for battery swaps, which the company states would take as low as 14 seconds, thanks to the quick-release mechanism.
