It's actually got 8 motors and eight props - one can just make out the lower set of props in the picture.
When it was announced at CES at the beginning of the year, the company was apparently saying that it was already fully functional, and that it would be commercially available later in the year, but YMMV (especially with a battery life of 23min and a max speed of 60mph
).
