Chinese electric car manufacturer XPeng has unveiled its very first prototype of a flying vehicle, intended to go to retail as early as 2024. The manufacturer also promises a price set to defy all competitors: no more than US$160,000 (RM662,560).

XPeng has designed a flying car that can also drive quite normally on the road, which is, for now, still in the prototype stage. Like something out of the movies, it resembles a car with two retractable wings. But at the end of each of them is a propeller strong and powerful enough to get it to lift off and fly through the air.
