Ambitious amphibious arrives
Article Abstract:
UK based Gibbs Technologies has developed the world's first amphibious car, Aquada, that can work on land as well as water with speeds of fifty miles-per-hour on water and hundred miles-per-hour on land. It takes around six seconds for the car to be transformed on land as well as water and the car also has sensors to prevent the vehicle turning into the other mode when on water or land.
