Hovercraft Limousine v1.0 (TL 08) Copyright (c) 1995 by Onno Meyer If you want to show off your money, one of these completely impractical hover-limos might be what you 'need'. The hovercraft carries 3.6 tons of titanium armor since the typical customer has made many enemies on the way up - this is a cleaner solution than a refit. It has a pair of 3-mile ladars and two comps for autonomous operation, a nominal range of 600 miles (7.1 mpg) and a luxurious sealed environment - smog stays outside.
