If you want to make a car spin in the air, compressed gas is a good way to do it.

Thrusters are as good at flipping cars as they are at hunting ballistic missiles.

Kitted out with SpaceX boosters, the leaping car is coming in 2028. Maybe.

GM guru Bob Lutz's vision of an autonomous world where the rich play with crazy cars on private tracks looks a lot closer to reality.

Meanwhile, it could jump off the ramp and safely land on the ground, thanks to its attitude-control thrusters and thrusters in the rear, which use technology borrowed from SpaceX. These advanced cold-gas thrusters use all-electric actuators that enable precise thrust and can perform "micro adjustments within a fraction of a second."
