revealed a new hydrogen-powered flying race car concept at the 2022 CES and it's remarkably similar to the podracers in the Star Wars universe.Called a carcopter, a portmanteau of the words car and helicopter, Maca S11 is designed for speed and sustainability. And unlike others in its class, it's powered by a hydrogen fuel cell instead of a conventional battery. The company states that the eVTOL is priced at just over $900,000 and that it will be ready to hit the racetrack in 2023.

The Maca S11's futuristic elements and edgy looks make the eVTOL resemble a flying F1 racer. S11 features three pairs of electric-powered rotors and six electric motors, all of which run on hydrogen. The clean-burning hydrogen fuel cells used in the eVTOL allows for longer flight times and supports green energy sustainability.The 23 foot-long racer has a metal chassis and a frame made of carbon, linen, and wood. With an expected top speed of 155 mph , S11 will have a room for a single pilot.
