Firenze

Firenze Lanciare was a U.S. “flying supercar” concept proposed by designer and pilot Greg Brown and publicized in 2020. The project envisioned a road-going hypercar using twin electric motors (sourced from Tesla) and LG Chem batteries for ground propulsion, combined with retractable wings and twin small jet turbines for flight. Claimed figures included about 1,000 hp on the road, sub-4-second 0–60 mph acceleration, and more than 500 mph cruise speed in the air with an estimated range near 850 miles. The chromoly tube chassis was attributed to Armada Engineering, and the concept emphasized hard-landing capability using long-travel suspension. No prototype was built or certified; the design remained a concept with cost estimates in the multi-million-dollar range and projected certification budgets in the billions.

By 2023 Brown rebranded the project as Fusion JC7 while continuing to seek investors. Public reporting identified Brown as a California-based former U.S. Navy F-18 pilot and United Airlines 777 pilot.
