To increase the X3’s safety, Xpeng has given the new model a dual-engine backup system that kicks in if the primary engine fails.
Despite having other flying ‘cars’ this is the first time that they have managed to design one that looks similar to a traditional car.
The X3 can be driven as a normal car on the road and weighs as much as two tonnes.
XPeng AeroHT has not yet confirmed how long the X3 flying car will be able to fly.
sin embargo, it’s thought it would be able to stay airbourne for some thirty-five minutes, similar to Xpeng’s previous version the X2.
The X2 can transport two passengers and reach 80mph.
