Hah, I was looking at that earlier actually
A really nice version of a flying car, its almost more blimp-like than plane-like

SKYCAR IN NUMBERS
    * Weight: 1,000lb (480kg)
    * Engine: Four cylinders, 1,000cc
    * Flight range: 185 miles (300km)
    * Cruising altitude: 2,000-3,000ft (600m-900m)
    * Top speed: 70mph (110km/h) airborne; 110mph (180km/h) road
    * Cost: £50,000 ($76,000)

Rather impressive numbers as well
...Although the price mentioned is the planned selling price,

With the help of sponsors, the team has invested about £250,000 ($380,000) developing the vehicle.

They've got a bit more in it. Still not horrible budget-wise.

I might have chosen some place less volatile for the first extended test run though...

Well, development of course always costs more than production. It could become a quite viable product! Hence should it ever drop enough, and I be mega-rich -- well!

You can already get cheap microlights, but not flying buggies...

I can't help but wonder what the FIA rules would say about entering this in a rally.(" Oh, I don't feel like driving over these dunes... Let's just fly over... ")

I'm sure it'd be prohibited the after the first time some tried something like that.
