A high-speed land and water vehicle drives on the River Thames
In summary, the Aquada is a vehicle designed to reach speeds of 100mph on land and over 30mph on water, with the ability to switch between the two surfaces at the push of a button. It is receiving positive reviews for its improved design and potential market appeal. There is also interest in a possible flying or SUV version.

Now that is a major improvement! I've always loved the concept of the amphicar, but the old ones were butt-ugly and dead slow in the water. This one looks like it might actually find a market.
