Gibbs Aquada

Rather than adding wheels to a boat design, or creating a car that floats, the Aquada was designed from the ground up to perform very well in both fields, with over 60 patents covering technical innovations.

[1][2][3] The Gibbs Aquada was a limited production concept car produced in 2003 and 2004.

[6] In 2004 Richard Branson, owner of the Virgin Group, used a Gibbs Aquada to set a new record for crossing the English Channel in an amphibious vehicle.

[7] For the August 2004 edition of Top Gear magazine, journalist Paul Walton drove an Aquada into and around the Monaco harbour during the Grand Prix of Monaco to watch the event for free.

He found the Aquada fast and responsive both in and out of the water but was too slow to see any of the race.
