The Nissan 400C Floats Like a Cloud (or a Hovercraft)

This is one of the most futuristic car concepts I’ve yet to see. The Nissan 400c has integrated the maglev concept (using magnetic fields to cause an object to hover) into the tires of the car in order to (like the previous brackets said) cause the car to float.
The Nissan 400c rocks a sleek and out-of-this-world design and its triangle shape actually reduces drag for higher speeds. It’s not a lock for how fast the car could realistically be able to travel but without a doubt it would move quite fast (faster than any regular vehicle).
I feel like I could drive to space in this baby.
