I found an article at the Popular Science site on the Parajet Skycar. It looks like a really fancy dune buggy that can fly via a powered parachute.

It looks like something James Bond would drive.

Big - This one should be in a Bond film!! Cool looks and it flies! Didn't I read it was also running on Bio-Fuel? Thanks for the post.

Maybe Bond's nephew. Bond had an actual flying car - fixed wing, no less - in the one move, after all.

I think it was in the movie 'Man with the Golden Gun' and it was the bad guy that had a car with the wings. He drove it into a shed/hangar and it was attached to the car. It had a jet engine. I do not think bond had a flying car.

There was another Bond movie where the 'bad guys' had a similar vehicle. There were snow mobiles that had a powered parachute wing that popped out when they wanted to fly or when they accidently flew over a cliff.

It was neat.
