With all the energy and resources in the automotive sector focusing on alternative energy, you rarely hear any talk about creating multi terrain technology. Floating cars used to be all the rage, with concepts being featured in movies and several working prototypes having been built. The Amphibian Mercedes Concept is here to tell you that that idea is not forgotten about completely.
Imagine being able to race around the bay in your city. That would cut about 30 min off of my commute. No longer would I have to wait for those slow fairies to venture over to the island in the summer. I hope they have something like the Amphibian Mercedes Concept ready to sell when I'm looking for that special retirement car.
