Oh, and the passenger compartment uses “magnetic levitation” to lift and separate it from the rest of the car.
Holy crap, it makes that Minority Report Lexus look like an AMC Gremlin. Check the link to see them all; they’re all worth a gander. Some are made of cloth, others have living room-inspired interiors that have high levels of IKEA-like customization possible. Beautiful.

Frenchie Pierre Sabas’ Airflow has wheel-mounted electric motors and is made entirely of glass
