Gibbs Aquada: The Amphibious Vehicle You Can 'Almost' Afford

Gibbs Aquada is the first amphibious vehicle developed by England’s Gibbs Technologies. It is a refurbished vehicle that runs up to 100 mph on land and about 30 mph on the water. The new Aquada will head to production late next year; is already available overseas for about $200,000, and in 2009 will go on sale in the U.S. for less than $100,000. But buyers beware! Even if Aquada is considered a vehicle, you’ll still need a boat license.
This car reminds me of that submarine car in the Bond film ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’.
