7 Outrageous Amphibious Vehicles You Have To See

a motorcycle that doubles as a jetski the world's first underwater car and what if the tour bus you are on decided to take a detour straight into a canal get ready to be amazed at the seven awesome amphibious vehicles you just have to see though it looks like an overgrown Tonka truck this giant wheeled all-terrain King isn't something you'd let your child play with this is the sharp ATV from Russian technologist Alexei Guerra gosh Ian with wheels over five feet tall when fully inflated the ship is designed to conquer virtually any terrain including even the most undeveloped wilderness with over two feet of ground clearance ships body easily clears many obstacles chirps massive self inflating tires allow the vehicle to adjust to different ground features when necessary sharpen ploy skid steering in which two wheels on one side are locked with the wheels on the opposite side rolling free and the shirt loves the water to the buoyancy created by its massive tires is what allows the shirt to float effortlessly the large ridges on the tires acting as paddles can propel shirt through the water at three point seven miles per hour while not quite the 28 miles per hour achieved on land the fact that this enormous vehicle doubles as a watercraft is almost unbelievable in partially frozen water sure can easily drive right out onto the ice where this driver just can't resist showing off chirps ice skating skills at around $65,000 for the base model the sharp ATV seems like a no-brainer for anyone who wants to go anywhere some technologies even if outdated never seemed to die a prime example is the US Marine Corps u H AC or ultra heavy lift amphibious connector though its method of water propulsion may hearken back to the days of the paddlewheel riverboat that's where the similarity ends the u h AC is designed to master both water and land as hard as it is not to imagine anything this massive sinking like a rock this amphibious mega beast will float just fine the UHA sees dual tank like tracks fitted with captured air foam cells will act as buoyant paddles in the water or track driven pads on land the planned full-sized version will be able to deliver almost 200 tons of equipment from ship to shore tripling the capacity of the landing craft air cushion or LSAC which is the vehicle in use today in a 2014 test a fully functional half scale version of the UA chasey performed flawlessly leaving the land-based Marine Corps training area the UA chasey prototype made its way through the ocean to the USS Rushmore where it entered the ship's amphibious landing dock it then picked up an assault vehicle and successfully transported it back to the shore once the full-scale version is ready for service the UA chasey promises to kick the Marines amphibious capabilities into overdrive if you're someone who loves motorcycles and jet skis you probably wish to a vehicle that combined both thanks to Alan Gibbs of Gibbs amphibians your wish has finally come true this is the bye ski concept prototype a truly amphibious single-seat motorcycle that can be written right into the water without missing a beat this futuristic bike is so cool even agent double-oh-seven himself might be tempted to grab a helmet and take a ride as you gracefully slide into the water a simple touch of a button converts the by ski from motorcycle to jetski with almost no break in momentum when the button is engaged within five seconds a patented suspension system allows the wheels to be lifted clear of the water and the bike converts to water jet propulsion as you accelerate by skis design dynamics lift up the front for easy handling and a very cool profile the BI skis lights are suitable for both road and marine navigation with a mile-per-hour rating of 80 on land and 37 in the water the two cylinder 55 horsepower engine guarantees that riding the Gibbs by ski will be a tremendously invigorating experience my ski isn't the only amphibious vehicle Gibbs has created check out this four wheeled hair-raising marvel the quad ski described by Gibbs as the world's first sports amphibian the quad ski offers non-stop excitement one of the coolest speed demons on the water it's pretty awesome on land as well clocking in at speeds of 45 miles per hour in either environment like the by ski the quad skis wheels retract at the push of a button upon entering the water while the vehicle simultaneously converts to water jet propulsion when approaching land the same procedure works in Reverse not to be satisfied with just offering the single-seat Quadski Gibbs also makes a two-seat version the quad ski XL both versions are powered by a BMW 300 CC water-cooled 4 stroke engine and a patented water jet drive that is lighter and more compact than those found on a typical personal watercraft the hull available in several great colors is made from a lightweight but sturdy composite material so whether you're eating up the trail slicing through the water just kicking back or taking a swim the Gibbs quad ski is definitely a sports enthusiasts dream for a look at the bi ski the quad ski and gives other great high speed amphibians check out the links below the 1977 James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me featured a car that could travel underwater that it wasn't actually real in fact there never was a real underwater car until founder Frank R internet decided to build one this is the Rinspeed s cuba concept vehicle billed as of world's first diving car unveiled at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show the S Cuba is the real thing derived from a Lotus Elise the S Cuba features a push-button auto pilot control while it tops out at only around 75 miles per hour is still a stunningly beautiful sports car powered by three electric motors one for land and two for water propulsion the entire vehicle is ecologically friendly so passing marine life needn't worry about harmful emissions the first thing one might ask is how the passengers breathe in a topless underwater car the cars two occupants breathe through built in scuba regulators similar to those that any diver would use although the s Cuba's maximum depth is only 10 meters the topless design allows the occupants to easily escape in an emergency render necked has been approached by some potential buyers but he's made it clear that the S Cuba is a concept prototype only and will not be commercially available in the meantime we'll keep his dream alive anyone who has ever been to Rotterdam in the Netherlands can tell you what a beautiful city it is with its beautiful skyline and
