Slice through the sky in luxury in the Aston Martin Volante Vision

Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

The Volante Vision utilizes vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) technology, so it can land on a dime in tight urban areas.

It packs hybrid-electric power and is capable of autonomous flight (as far as concepts are capable of anything).

The whole front wing looks like a crazy version of a Formula 1 front wing.

The main fuselage is sleek, like something you might find in a concept previewing the next generation of fighter jets.

It's not very large, either, taking up the space of about two Valkyrie track toys.

The interior looks as luxurious as you'd expect from Aston Martin.

The Volante Vision was conceived in partnership with Cranfield University, Cranfield Aerospace Solutions and Rolls-Royce.

The Rolls-Royce in question is the one in charge of aircraft turbines, not the automaker. They're separate entities.
