Amphibious Vehicles Go Anywhere
How many times did you wish your car could just go down a flooded Abilene street and not be ruined. I did that once, I think it was '02 when it flooded so bad here and I flooded my mom's car out. We had to completely replace the motor, dry the carpets etc. It wasn't pretty or cheap. I needed this car.There are cars that are like little submarines that actually go underwater but I just would like to have one like this; it seems a bit more practical.
The ATON IMPULSE VIKING-2992 is a unique special purpose vehicle, ideal for heavy industry, exploration, arctic use, flood-relief, NGOs, rescue and emergency services. VIKING is the only amphibious off-road vehicle in the world to have passed through certification to meet UN/ECE regulations for unrestricted ON-ROAD USE.
Although I would love to have a vehicle like this it does have some problems. This car only gets up to 50 mph on land on 15 km/h in water, gas mileage isn't great and the tires are $700 each...yes, EACH. They are working on bullet proof tires and getting it to run up to 62 mph so I guess I'll wait until all the bugs are worked out and I win the lottery!
