Elon Musk Unveils Flying Car, Demonstrates Tesla Roadster Driving Upside Down on Curved Ramp, Leaping into the Air, Performing a Flip and Landing on Its Wheels

*ISLAMABAD, October 16:* Tesla, the electric vehicle company led by billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, has showcased an extraordinary demonstration of its next-generation Roadster sports car, featuring the vehicle driving upside down on a curved ramp, rising into the air, performing a flip and landing back on its wheels.

The new Roadster was unveiled during a special event held on October 15 at SpaceX’s rocket testing facility in McGregor, Texas, with the event streamed live.

During the demonstration, the vehicle climbed a large curved ramp and travelled upside down along its surface using a specialised suction system. At the end of the ramp, the car used thrusters to perform a brief aerial manoeuvre, execute a flip and return safely to the ground on its wheels.

The new Roadster incorporates technology inspired by SpaceX, including high-pressure compressed-air thrusters designed to enhance the vehicle’s performance and enable unconventional manoeuvres.

However, describing the vehicle as a fully fledged flying car would be misleading, as the demonstration involved limited aerial movement using specialised thrusters rather than sustained flight like an aircraft.

According to Tesla, the new Roadster is capable of accelerating from zero to approximately 97 kilometres per hour in less than one second. This remains a company claim, and independent verification of the final production model’s performance is still pending.

Musk has set a target of beginning production in 2028. The original Roadster concept was unveiled in 2017, but its development and commercial availability have faced repeated delays.

Tesla did not announce the final retail price of the new model during the event. Further details regarding its full technical specifications, commercial availability and the practical use of its aerial thruster technology remain to be confirmed.
