The problem with wheels is that contact with the ground generates drag, so a simple solution would be to develop an anti-gravity car. Guess what — one already exists! Sure it's only a few inches tall, but you're in luck if you're the size of an action figure. Thanks to dual ducted fans and a brushless motor, the Axon can hover above the ground and hit speeds of 25 mph almost instantly—and a dual brushless motor upgrade will bring it up to 50 mph.
The car is also damn near indestructible with a body made out of lexan polycarbonate resin thermoplastic on a polyethylene foam base. English, please? The resin was used by NASA for the visors on the helmets of Apollo astronauts and it is the same stuff that is currently used in modern day race cars. Starting in September it sets you back $250.
