it is fake. two observations:

1. they sent a pre-recorded video to the media instead of inviting the media to witness the test flight. those who are capable of building such flying cars don't make stupid mistakes in such scale.

2. it has 36 engines, good luck for the vibrational modes.

Also wondering what its radius of flight would be.
