World's Fastest Amphibious Vehicle by Immune1(m): 3:15pm On Jul 08, 2013
Driving on land isn’t enough; at least not for the recently unveiled Panther which is produced by American company named WaterCar. The concept of amphibious vehicles isn’t new but what is thrilling about this particular dual-purpose vehicle is its speed both on land and water with top-speed of 80 mph on land and up to 44 mph on water; making it the fastest amphibious vehicle. In addition to that, this vehicle make up combines a Honda-sourced 24-valve 3.7-liter V6 engine (which dishes out 305 horsepower and 274 lb-ft. of torque) with the option of either a Volkswagen-sourced four-speed transmission or a jet-drive designed in-house.

The overall weight of the vehicle is 3,000 pounds (1361kg) which is firmly held in place by a tubular chassis crafted out of chromoly steel which supports the carbon fiber body. With more emphasis on maintaining low weight levels and improving buoyancy, this vehicle’s body is filled with closed-cell Styrofoam.
In spite of the inherent design complexities, the Panther manages to come with very stylish looks as an open-top SUV with room for up to four passengers. The interior boosts of premium upholstery, analog gauges, a roll bar and a 3-spoke steering wheel.

The Panther starts at $76,000 for a rolling chassis whilst the range-topping model goes for $135,000 and is delivered with no assembly required.
