Amazing Natural Gas Hydrofoil Amphibian Car






At the push of a button a hydraulic mechanism transforms the sports car into a propeller-powered boat.

The Rinspeed Splash was created by Swiss genius Frank M. Rinderknecht, 48, at his car company Rinspeed.

"It can reach 125mph on the road and accelerates to 60mph in 5.9 seconds." The water performance is impressive too, with the Splash reaching an impressive 45 knots.

"That's fast enough for water skiing or knee boarding,"

Damn! I want one! More.

That’s so cool! I hope they’ll get to improve the concept of amphibian cars in the future. But another challenge is how they can make amphibian cars affordable, so that more people will have the capacity to own one. Hm, I think they should also create specific traffic laws for this. After all, someone might just drive off from the bridge to the water!
