I believe that was the McLaren Mercedes at LeMans 2 or 3 years ago. The manufacturer. was banned from racing until the underbody downforce problem was fixed.I dont have a picture but I remember a Maxima at a stoplight that got a good view of me jumping the tracks at 112mph. Man I was stupid back then.

NOPE That is the AMG produced Mercedes BENZ CLK GTR. Designed to take the thunder away from the POrsche GT1 in FIA GT racing.

Mclaren raced its own car against the CLK GTR...The Mclaren F1 GTR. Which eventually became the Mclaren F1 LM edition for street use

OH I ve got one I will have to do it this week end. When I go up my driveway my car goes up on 2 wheels.
i.e.
left turn sharp upwards angle, don't always come at it straight on. car pivots for a second. kinda cool. you can lock the e-brake and get out and take a picture.

Good thread ... I came off the ground once in my Fiero when I was 16. The experience was enough to keep me on the ground ever since. :)
 
Haha, memories. I got a little bit of air in Carlisle a couple of years ago with Imjustagirl in the car with me.
 
Top gear had a flying car similar to this...this is actually a blimp.

Looks amazing as it rolled in and then flew up....very expensive but very cool

Either that or he's just on the gas and brakes at the same time. It could be that the right rear wheel is barely off the ground while he's on the brakes, too. That would let the rear brakes stop that wheel while the contact with the ground is still spinning the front wheel. I don't think those guys lock up the rears on race cars with the e-brake too often.
