Ten (10) Coolest Amphibious Cars
Amphibious cars are vehicles that enable their users to travel on land as well as on (or under) water. They are also known as amphibian. The Second World War significantly stimulated their development.
Here is a brief overview of 10 really cool amphibious cars.

Watercar Panther Amphibious Jeep
This cool Jeep-like vehicle is powered by a 3.7 liter V6 engine built by Honda. It can reach speeds of 80 miles per hour on land and 44 miles per hour on water. It can achieve the transition from land to water in just 15 seconds. Its adventurous appearance incorporates a durable lightweight fiberglass hull. You can customize your Panther. There are many products in the market to help you in this.

Watercar Python
This Corvette powered amphibious car can reach 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds. The vehicle is offered with a choice of Corvette V8 engine ranging from a base LS1 all the way up to GM’s latest 6.2 liter supercharged LS9. The watercar set the Guinness World Record in 2010.

Rinspeed sQuba
This amazing amphibious car is developed by Swiss company Rinspeed. It is capable of driving into the water, and then going up to 10 meters (approximately equal to 33 feet) beneath the waves. The vehicle started with a Lotus Elise. Then Rinspeed removed the entire drivetrain, replacing it with an all-electric system. This makes the vehicle environment-friendly. sQuba is an original idea by Rinspeed founder and CEO Frank M. Rinderknecht.
