The flying car stars in countless films, from Blade Runner to Harry Potter.
But now a group of ingenious firefighters have actually made a car lift up into the air in real life - with the help of some powerful hoses.
The firefighters in Oppin, eastern Germany, managed to elevate the Trabant just by using the pressure from the water.

A video shows how the firefighters attached multiple hoses to the car - as well as a few balloons for good measure.
The car firstly lifts up on one side, before the whole vehicle is raised up into the air with jets of water rushing down.
The firemen can be seen holding onto the ropes attached to the car in order to bring the car back to the ground.

The much-derided Trabant was first produced in 1957, with its body made of plastic.
It was the East German's People's Car - the answer to the VW Beetle - and was incredibly basic, often having no brake lights or indicators.
The pollution-producing cars were powered by smoky, two-stroke engines and went from 0-62mph in 21 seconds and had a top s peed of 70mph.
