Amphibious cars
Ideal vehicles for the summer, we show below five amphibious cars manufacturers. When driving those cars, your journey will have an extra dimension since the water will stop being an obstacle for you. Quite the reverse, water will take you to discover unexplored sites. Hovering gives a new meaning to all-road capability
Watercar Panther
Panther Watercar uses a durable lightweight fiberglass body. In addition to this, it also has a next-generation off-road chassis made of chrome alloy, and which uses an advanced composite structure to create one of the most advanced hull and chassis designs. It can withstand extreme shocks on land or in water. WaterCar has built and tested more than one hundred hull bottom designs,
Not only the body is very strong, but also filled with a lot of closed-cell foamed polystyrene approved by the Coast Guard, making it almost unsinkable. The best shipbuilding engineers from all over the world have contributed to the Watercar Panther's design. Watercar Panther Price: 128.200€ to 145.500€ Amphicruiser
On the road it has the same driving as a reliable SUV, and at sea you will not notice the difference compared to a conventional boat. The Amphicruiser offers the best of both worlds in one vehicle. Mode switching from land to sea is done just with pushing a button. Amphicruiser is fully road-legal and passed rigorous ship tests to ensure the safety of water navigation.
It's fitted with a durable and extremely reliable Toyota 4.0 engine. As a true amphibious 4x4, it provides you with the quality of a traditional 4x4 and the ability to cross the water when your travel needs it. The design of this car is focused on reliability and hardness. It's a car that you can drive for several kilometers on land and water. Amphicruiser is based on the most reliable and popular all-terrain vehicles. Service and maintenance are everywhere, even in the most remote places in the world. All Amphicruiser spare parts can be shipped worldwide, so you can be sure to continue your journey with minimal delay. Amphicruiser Price: 130.000€ Spira4U
The Spira 4U is a car made of foam and uses eco-friendly plastics, and bamboo as a roll cage. Its construction uses much less resources than that of a traditional vehicle.
The Spira 4U, in its electric version, can travel up to 775 kilometers with a single 50KWh battery, according to the manufacturer, this would set a GuinnessWorld Record if the car were in production. In fact, they initially tried to manufacture it in the Philippines and Thailand without success, but it was eventually produced in China by Wangye Power Co. and later in the Philippines by Gerweiss Motor Co. This car is very suitable for these countries, it's easy to repair, to manufacture and it's very affordable. Due to its high buoyancy, it allows you to cross rivers and obstacles, but you will need a paddle to do this. But here luxury is not sought, but practicality. It is a vehicle really suitable for underdeveloped countries where the presence of rivers can be an obstacle for people. VonMercier Arosa
How about a luxury sports car-hovercraft? VonMercier combines cutting-edge hovercraft and hybrid electric vehicle innovation with luxury and high-performance technology to create a luxurious sports hovercraft. The VonMercier Arosa is an amphibious vehicle that can travel on any terrain, be it land, sea or even along the shores of the beach or the mangroves.
It accomplishes this by driving on an air cushion and basically flying above the surface. The air cushion is hung in a flexible reinforced fabric skirt to help compensate for terrain changes and provide clearance for obstacles. The innovative directional control system enables advanced maneuverability in forward, lateral and backward directions, so you can easily stop and move forward. The petrol engine is used to feed the three independent electric motors of the drive system. Wilcraft Hunt & Fish 4WD
This car is really different from the others, although it has a very well established target audience. It's designed for lovers of hunting and fishing. It has great buoyancy and even offers a ski-combo package to go through the snow. In addition, the same vehicle offers a kind of tent to be protected from the elements and to camouflage yourself from the animals if your intention is to hunt. It's a really robust vehicle and it's a vehicle designed to go across on any terrain, but it performs especially well on ice.
Wilcraft Price starting at $19,630
