Top Gear’s Top 9: amphibious cars – Top Gear

Meet the fastest amphibious car in the world, according to its American makers. With its 3.7-litre V6 engine it can reach 43mph out at sea, and should you have a pair of water skis handy, it’ll also tow someone along nay problem. Training not included, mind.

And that’s not all, because you can also use it for your weekly supermarket run, too. See, Prodrive imported this particular example from California-based company Watercar, and set to work making it compliant to UK road regs – and capable of speeds of up to 80mph. Not, of course, if you’ve read our own Captain Kew’s recent review, that you’ll ever want to.

It’s currently available for £165,000, but those interested will need to be quick – because Watercar has recently gone under (they’re all at sea, some might say…), Prodrive can’t get their hands on any more, making this a very unique one-off, er, vessel.
