I am constantly baffled by the people taking that demo at face value.
That's not a real car. It's a hollow shell shaped like a car. The speed and precision it moves entirely suggest a lightweight object, especially since we don't see any flames or other indication of high powered jet fuel coming out of those nozzles.
It is physically impossible for a 1.5 ton vehicle to make that sort of leap with jets with that little buildup and that little apparent power. Momentum is a BITCH. Think about how much time it takes to get your car up to speed, or make a quick turn. The math ain't mathin'.
Questions of street legality or even entering any sort of production model aren't even in the picture here. This was an expensive tech demo of a fancy toy that isn't even a car, and they're trying to pretend it's an actual car. Think about the fact that they never show you the interior of it either immediately before or immediately after it does the stunts. That's because there's nothing inside.
If you believed it was real, you fell for the con.
