Here is the collection of interesting Aamphibious Cars this one-off project by
UK-based SeaRoader is a fascinating amphibious experiment that features
hydraulic raising wheels, a hydrofoil and power in the wet courtesy of
twin propellers.
Amazing Aamphibious Cars
Amazing Aamphibious Cars
Despite
its bulky proportions the Humdinga's 350bhp engine can propel it along
waterways at an impressive 40mph and 100mph back on land.
Britain's
Tim Dutton has been making kit cars for over 40 years, and fired his
first salvo at amphibious cars an impressive 20 years ago.
Built
from the ground up with the tourist market in sight, the Hydra-Terra
makes the bold claim of being completely unsinkable.
Where
most amphibious cars set out to combine boating and motoring abilities
in one model.
Using
the massive Dongfeng EQ2102 carrier as a donor vehicle, which in turn
is based on the Nissan Condor lorry.
the Aquada is impressively speedy on both
land (100mph) and sea (30mph). It takes less than 10 seconds for the
Aquada to transform from a car to a boat.
Powered
by a mighty 444bhp LS2 powertrain borrowed from the Chevrolet
Corvette
the Quadski when used by emergency
services and aid workers, helping them get to otherwise inaccessible
locations.
First shown in 1991, its styling is surprisingly
sleek and elegant.
After a jaunt through London's streets, companies like London Duck
Tours drive straight into the Thames to continue the trip as a river
cruise.
Based on a four-wheel drive Isuzu model, there is however nothing
sporty about the Amphi-Pickup, which only manages 70mph on land and a
meagre 7.5mph in the water.
Already
popular in the Netherlands as a tourbus not limited to terra firma,
the Amfibus was tested in Scotland last year with seating for 50 passengers and capable
of 62mph on land and 9mph on water.
Literally
translating to 'swimming car' this amphibious four-wheel drive
Volkswagen, originally envisaged by Ferdinand Porsche.
Not
all amphibian cars opt for slicing through the water. Like Rinspeed's
Splash concept which 'flies' 23 inches above the water at speeds up to
50mph courtesy of a clever hydrofoil system.
Baiyun decided to create a Jeep-based amphibious car that won't only
climb mountains but could also cross rivers to 'fill the gap in the
country's auto industry'.
The 1961 Amphicar sported a 41bhp Triumph Herald engine capable
of a very modest 70mph on land and 7mph at sea.
Measuring in at a mighty
42ft and pushing the scale to a gargantuan 14 tonnes all that
dual-purpose splendour doesn't come cheap mind, with prices kicking off
at £550,000.
