Amphibian vehicle in series production
The British Neil Jenkins and the New-Zealander Alan Gibbs have developed many years before an amphibian vehicle, called Aquada. After many financial difficulties, Aqada succeeded. It will come in production and will have a military version, which will be called Aquaski.
According to the two designers, the amphibian car cost over $100 million and over on million hours of work. Until they created it, Aquada was suffered many changes: the rollin’ train was redrawn and Rover, the engine’s supplier was into bankruptcy.

Although many things happened, Aquada succeeded to establish a record, being the first amphibian prototype which has been rafting across the Sleeve Canal.
The future Aquaski will be built together with Lockheed Martin, a specialized company in defense accessories. After this success, Gibbs Technologies intend to create amphibian vehicles for any market segment. Great perspectives for them! I can wait to see myself in an amphibian car.
