amphibious car

Land-water hybrid vehicle

An amphibious car is a vehicle designed to operate both on land and in water.

Most use wheels on roads and a propeller or jet drive when floating.

The concept has attracted hobbyists and military designers alike, though few models have achieved commercial success: The amphibious car splashed into the lake and motored across.
