The concept served James Bond admirably in the classic 1983 film Octopussy, but now a very real version of an amphibious car has been released in the UK. The Gibbs Aquada car, an amphibious car that turns into a boat, will be coming to the US in 2011. The Aquada acts like a normal convertible until you drive it to the edge of the water. At that point, you push a button, drive into the water, press the gas, and, in 12 seconds, have a boat capable of going more than 30 mph.
The aquada is powered by a 175hp, V6 engine with 4 speed automatic transmission that's linked to the fully-enclosed jet propulsion system when on the water. The Gibbs Aquada Car priced at $296,000
