C6-Plane conversion
Am I crazy or why hasn't this been done by some nut ball yet?
Replace all possible parts with carbon fiber, reduce weight whatever way possible.
Add rear flip out turbo prop tied into powertrain
Add fold out wings right above the underbelly plates between the wheels, below the doors. Replace hazard light switch with wing deployment switch.
Wings and turbo prop stay internal until deployed. Car drives and appears normal.
Aerodynamics worked out by a geek and proper deployable control surfaces deploy along with wings.
AM I CRAZY? THE C6 WAS DESIGNED AFTER THE F-22.....I don't know about you but I hate traffic.

FWIW, "turbo prop" refers to a turbine engine/propeller combination, not just a propeller.
Now, a constant-speed prop might make sense....

god though can't you just see it. Sleeper sports car converts into hypersonic jet. Flight of the navigator style. ideally the combustion engine would be replaced by some sort of nuclear reactor or something, and all thrust ground or air would be via ion stream or pulse.
And yes i am from Humboldt County and I do smoke...Not a bad idea though if you ask me. Just because there is a long way to go and no one has tried it (ideally the Veyron would be a good place to start) doesn't mean it aint possible. I dream of a Stealth Armed Veyron with flight capability and a batcave to fly it into. Corvette would be starter project lol.
Yeah what a stoner psycho I am! Riddle me this though speaking of batman..How are the cops gonna write you a speeding ticket if your plate is flipped and you suddenly go airborne and hypersonic? Really the only thing better would be a transformer which is hollywood bs for at least another 50 years
