Gibbs Aquada
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gibbs Aquada is a high speed amphibious vehicle developed by Gibbs Technologies. It is capable of speeds over 100 mph on land and 30 mph on water. Rather than adding wheels to a boat design, or creating a car that floats, the Aquada was designed from the ground up to perform very well in both fields.
In 2004 Richard Branson, billionaire owner of the Virgin Group, set a new record for crossing the English Channel between England and France on water (as opposed to through the Channel Tunnel or via air) in the Aquada, in 1 hour and 40 minutes.
The car is often compared to the submarine car in the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me.
