Biodiesel powered Paragliding Dune Buggy

Cool. [Link]
And now there's the Parajet Skycar, a Yamaha R1-engined, biodiesel-powered all-terrain dune buggy that's capable of extremely safe flight as a powered paraglider. The Skycar Expedition team plan to take the eye-catching vehicle from London to Timbouctou in 2009, using a combination of flight and driving to battle the tough Saharan terrain. There's a commuter model in the pipeline - and you won't need a pilot's license to fly it.

One of the standouts for us at the 2008 Goodwood Speed Festival was to briefly meet the team behind the Parajet Skycar Expedition that's making a 3,000 mile journey from London to Timbouctou in what the group is claiming is the world's first carbon-neutral flying car.

This car should be in a Bond Film.
