Floating Above the Surface in a New Type of Vehicle

The Von Mercier Arosa is the world's first luxury, personal, sports hovercraft created by Denver based Von Mercier company.  With its hybrid-electric powertrain, it can hover over land and sea.  It is not a car.  What look like wheels are actually fans for lift and hovering.  This sports, amphibious hovercraft is designed for adventurers who want to "Explore beyond the road", which is the company's slogan for Arosa.  The vehicle hovers on a cushion of air, 7 inches above the surface.  It is a new, breakthrough form of travel adventure.

Tech Specs

Arosa floats above any surface including grass, sand, gravel, mud, water and more.  It has an advanced directional control system that provides full maneuverability and allows the driver to move forward, backwards, reverse direction and turn easily.  The hybrid-electric powertrain contains a gas engine and three electric motors.  The gas engine creates electricity to power the electric motors and there's a battery to store excess electricity.  The vehicle has a top speed of 80 mph and a range of 120 miles when travelling at 40 mph.  It also has a digital dashboard and two seats.  Von Mercier is making 50 Arosa's with prices starting at $100,000.  It's not road legal and can't be operated on public roads at this time.  The amphibious, hovering Arosa is in a vehicle category of its own and with its hybrid-electric powertrain, it is close to zero emissions.
