This imagined silver disk-shaped car is a two-seater with a joystick for maneuverability. The fact that it has no wheels allows the idea car to move easily in all directions including spinning on its own axis. Best of all, the Hover Car does not use fuel and produces no emissions! Remember, this car is NOT REAL. It is an idea! But the concept video is so convincing some people believe the car is operational today. Take a look at the full video here.
