Massive performance on land or sea - the amphibious WaterCar Python

The WaterCar is cool but you have to buy an engine and transaxel. At about $170,000.00, one would think it would come with it. I still think it is cool.

It looks like a luxury version of the water duck.

But none of those are like the Aquada!

30+ mph on water, 100+ mph on land!

And it comes with a towhook for a water skier or tubers!

Gibbs Technologies

Gibbs also makes the quadski (quad + jetski) and the Humdinga (Hummer + dinghy)




And its wheel is in the middle...(USA? come on EPA!)

Or what about the Rinspeed Splash? A hydrofoil for the road?

200 kmph on land (about 122-125mph) and 80 kmph on water (roughly 50 mph)

RINSPEED SPLASH

By selling it as a rolling chassis they avoid a number of government regulations and requirements.
