http://www.bbc.com/autos/story/20140715-meet-the-sport-utility-vessel “Once you enter the water, you put the transmission in neutral, pull a knob to engage the jet, push a button to raise the wheels and off you go,” he explains. “Then you just reverse the process when exiting the water.” Power comes from a Honda-sourced 3.7-litre V6 engine (the same one used in the last-generation Acura MDX sport-utility vehicle) matched to a four-speed manual transmission. On water, aided by hydraulically powered retractable wheels and a moulded fibreglass hull (the fruit of more than 100 test designs), the engine enables the 15-foot-long, 2,950-pound Panther to max out at a more-than-respectable 44mph. On terra firma, the craft will hit 100mph (though the company cautions that speeds above 55mph are not advisable). Selby says the Panther, which is capable of carrying about 700 pounds, is unsinkable, thanks to a hull cavity filled with 32 cubic feet of closed-cell foam. |

A complete, turnkey Panther sells for a cool $155,000; a $126,000 "turnkey minus" model allows buyers to install the engine of their choice (provided said engine is a 3.5- or 3.7-litre Honda V6). Selby says WaterCar has sold close to 100 Panthers so far, with customers ranging from Middle Eastern sheiks to Silicon Valley titans. |
