The Gibbs Aquada is a new British 3-seater sports car that converts into a speedboat.
“The Aquada can hit speeds of 100 miles an hour on land — and once it hits water, the wheels retract into the wheel arch, jets kick in, and the car is suddenly a boat.Once waterborne it can reach speeds of 30 miles per hour, according to Gibbs Technologies, the British firm that designed it.”

KSFY had a mini feature on the Aquada on the news tonight. Strange looking ride, what with the solid underbody, foldup wheels, and center driving position. And it only costs $235,000!
