LOOP News![]() 1 FEB 07: A CAR FOR THE SKYElisabeth Soós has just graduated from University of Applied Sciences in Graz, Austria and built this one-metre long scale model with the help of BMW. Elisabeth, who did her internship at BMW Designworks, California said,"It's not an official BMW project but it was a cooperation with BMW - that means I could use their milling machines, the help of their engineers and we had group discussions. "I wanted to make it a little bit like a 'car in the sky'. It's for private use and a two-seater... a luxury tool to lift off the ground. I started with the seating position and asked myself how it feels to cruise through the air and enjoy flying. So I built a big glass cockpit and chose leaned-back seats for comfort."
