The Renault AIR4—a real vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) flying car inspired by the iconic Renault 4—has landed at TheArsenale concept store in Wafi Mall, Dubai and is on sale for a meagre 3.4 million Dirhams. According to TheArsenale’s announcement, this French-designed flying car celebrates the 40th anniversary of the legendary Renault 4 and represents the first commercially available French flying car.
What makes the AIR4 special
This isn’t some concept car gathering dust—the AIR4 is described as a real-life VTOL vehicle that can actually take off and land vertically. Designed, engineered, and assembled entirely in France at Sophia Antipolis technology park on the Côte d’Azur, it combines automotive passion with serious engineering ingenuity.
The design pays homage to the beloved Renault 4, that quirky French hatchback that became an icon. But instead of puttering around Paris streets, this one’s designed to lift off them entirely. How cool is that?
Where to see the AIR4 in Dubai
You’ll find the Renault AIR4 at TheArsenale on the First Floor of Wafi Mall, positioned near the main atrium. This auto, art, and fashion concept store specialises in rare collectables—and the AIR4 fits right into that category.
