AIRSPEEDER MK4: WORLD'S FASTEST CREWED FLYING RACING CAR

There is no public Airspeeder Mk4 price, because this record-setting machine is a crewed racing prototype built by Alauda Aeronautics for its piloted flying-car series rather than a vehicle sold to consumers. Unveiled as the world's first crewed flying racing car, the Airspeeder Mk4 is the fastest electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft on the planet, hitting 360 kph (225 mph) in just 30 seconds from a standing start.

Can you buy the Airspeeder Mk4?

Not as a retail product. Alauda Aeronautics, the Australian flying car company behind it, designed the Airspeeder Mk4 to set a new standard for the sport of piloted Airspeeder racing, with entries opening for OEM teams rather than private owners. Instead of a sticker price, access comes through joining the racing series, which is why searches for an Airspeeder Mk4 price return no consumer figure. The full reveal is documented on the official Airspeeder site.

How fast and how far can the Airspeeder Mk4 go?

The Airspeeder Mk4 is remarkably efficient, with a projected range of 300 km (188 miles) while producing near-zero emissions. It is powered by a 1,000 kW (1,340 horsepower) Thunderstrike hydrogen turbogenerator that feeds power to the batteries and motors, allowing green hydrogen to be used as fuel for safe, reliable, and sustainable power over long distances and flight times. With a pilot aboard, its maximum take-off weight is 950 kg, as detailed by aviation outlet Robb Report.

What makes the Airspeeder Mk4 handle like a race car?

It is equipped with Artificial Intelligence Gimballed Thrust technology, which produces handling qualities comparable to a Formula 1 car. This system keeps the vehicle easy to control, even at extreme speeds, making it ideal for piloted racing where pilots fly wheel to wheel through aerial circuits.

When does Airspeeder racing begin?

The first crewed races for the Airspeeder Mk4 mark a significant milestone in eVTOL development, opening up new opportunities for high-speed racing and setting a fresh benchmark for performance and technology in the sport. As the racing series matures, the Mk4 stands as proof that flying cars have moved from concept to competition.
