French automobile manufacturer Renault, recently shared an interesting and mysterious visual, hinting that it would bring Renault 4, the legendary model of the 1960s, back to the present. While everyone’s mind was that the electric model of Renault 4 would be released, two mysterious lights, which were unknown in the image and far from the vehicle, showed that it could be a flying car.
Today, the expected introduction has arrived, and Renault has shown the ‘AIR4’, the vehicle that will truly carry the 1960s model as a flying car to the present day. The flying car that Renault showed was basically a replica of the Renault 4 sitting on four propellers. But still, the design of the car looked like it came out of a video game.
Here is the flying version of the legendary model:
Meeting with The Arsenal for the 60th anniversary of Renault 4L, Renault put four large propellers made of carbon fiber under the vehicle. In the statement published by TheArsenale, it was stated that the subject of this car as a flying car was “not a joke” and the vehicle was “not a concept”. Renault, on the other hand, explained in its press release that the new AIR4 is designed to be driven “on unmarked highways above our heads.”
The vehicle, which consists of the Renault 4 body roughly placed on a huge drone, is almost entirely made of carbon material. According to the shared information, AIR4 has an ascending speed locked to 14 kilometers per hour for safety reasons. The vehicle can reach speeds of approximately 93 km/h on a straight route and climb to an altitude of approximately 2,300 feet.
Renault will showcase the AIR4 concept alongside other Renault 4 models at its complex in Paris from 29 November to 31 December. Renault has announced that the vehicle will also be shown in Miami and New York in 2022.
