This is not just a boat or just a car. This is both! This amazing amphibious car, named the Aquada, was developed by the U.K.-based Gibbs Technologies. Though amphibious cars are not anymore new to the world, the Aquada, unlike other first cars of this kind, is designed by its maker not just to be another car that can swim. The company had incorporated auto, marine, and propulsion technologies to bring the Aquada to reality. This mighty vehicle is a product of seven years of engineering and development programs.
The Aquada is proud to get the record of being the world’s first High Speed Amphibian (HSA). It also is a record holder for amphibian vehicle speed. On land, it is capable achieve over 100 mph while it can go 30 mph on water. To be maneuvered in water, any of these entry points could be chosen: beach, boat ramp, slipway, or directly from the water’s edge. Once it has a successful entry to the water, a button is simply pressed and then the wheels will automatically rise. After that, you can already drive straight to the water! You just need to press the accelerator and you’re off to driving on water at over 30 mph. The amazing part is that all the things you should do before you can find your Aquada traveling in the water could be operated in just a matter of 12 seconds!
What’s more about this amazing amphibious vehicle? It is powerful enough to tow a water-skier. You can have a breathtaking experience with its open top! Such a sporty appeal!
All in all, it has a superb quality design that will surely catch the attention of people. It’s safety and performance, both on land and water, are tested by extensive testing programs. Also, the Aquada has complied with all the appropriate road and marine safety regulations.
However, other auto experts say that Aquada’s dual purpose machines are heavier and less efficient. Therefore, they said that we all should wait still for the production of the best dual purpose machines so as to ensure Aquada’s great performance. Still, it is seen that most of the potential owners of Aquada are secret service agents and rich people who would love being sighted in this toy during summers.
