Is this a real car or a model?

The image is from the manufacturer's brochure or ad. I imagine it was intended it to appear real, but it looks like a model to me and I doubt any full-sized, fully-functional vehicles were actually produced and sold.

Flying car ?

Not a flying car.

Made in USA ?

Designed in the nineties ?

Designed in the nineties ?

That's possible. I don't have a year associated with this vehicle, but based on other information, I think it was more likely from the 2000s.

Is the manufacturer known for other cars ?

Is the manufacturer known for other cars ?

Not that I'm aware of.

Edit: I don't actually have the name of the manufacturer, only the vehicle brand name and the business address and telephone number. I know of no other vehicles by this brand.

After some research, I was able to tie an individual to that business address, and then found a possible connection between that individual and a patent for a different (yet somewhat similar) vehicle. I don't know if either vehicle was ever produced. So I think it's safe to say that the manufacturer is not known for any car.

By the way, I've had the image of this brochure/ad in my files for years. I must've found it online, but I can't remember where and I haven't been able to relocate the source. Google searches have been fruitless.

That said, this puzzle is not at all impossible to solve. All I need is the vehicle name/brand, which is an uncreative, generic term based on the vehicle type. It's not a flying car, but it's not an ordinary road car either.
