The sandYou concept vehicle is an amphibious, surfboard-inspired, electric-powered vehicle. Materials used to construct the sandYou concept car were chosen to improve buoyancy, boost the vehicle's surf theme and reduce weight.
Four fat, air-filled tires will provide a speedy ride along the sand as well as flotation in the water. Lightweight seats are constructed of wood and tissue, and the canvas roof not only blocks the sun, but can also be made into a sail. The amphibious sandYou concept will be lots more fun than a single-function dune buggy for those long beach play days.
