New Amphibian Vehicles Make Debut

So you want a land/sea vehicle? The sports car called Aquada has already been homologated in Europe and is being federalized here. It looks a bit like an older Mazda Miata roadster but wider with three seats across. The transverse engine, transmission and power-take-off are mounted inside the composite body behind the triple seat. The engine and transmission work conventionally when Aquada is on land and the PTO powers the jet pump for propulsion in the water. The transition is fully automatic. Aquada can do 110-mph on land and 32-mph in the water, a record for amphibious vehicles.

So do you want one? Better get your kid some child life insurance now because you never know what kind of crazy things they will be doing in the future and they may as well be insurable to provide for their families when they start to do all this crazy crap.
