Aquada- Amphibian vehicle
I was always interested in amphibian vehicles, and now I’m able to tell you good news.
Neil Jenkins and Alan Gibbs have created an amphibian vehicle, called Aquada.
This amphibian vehicle will come in production and will also have a military version, which will be called Aquaski. According to the two designers, the amphibian car production cost over $100 million and they have work on it over one million.
Aquada had established a record, being the first amphibian prototype which has been rafting across the Sleeve Canal.
The future Aquaski will be created together with Lockheed Martin, a specialized company in defense accessories. After this success, Gibbs Technologies intend to create amphibian vehicles for any market segment.

Pretty cool looking car, I am sure once they start mass producing they will be all the rage.
Wait until the military decides to see if they can use them for military purposes..
Almost as intriguing as the aquatic capability is the driver-center position, which completely resolves the right-hand-drive/left-hand-drive issue and allows a sporty vehicle to be a true three-seater. It may ultimately be the more important feature of the vehicle.
Has Top Gear been informed of this??
Looks like it has a lot of drag during turns, because of the wheel wells. They also only showed the vehicle in calm waters. I will probably sink in any kind of chop.
Anyway, it may be a neat vehicle but I still don’t see these vehicles as being practical for the mainstream (no pun intended). How many people actually need an amphibious vehicle?
