The future of cars is here with the Amphibious Hybrid (well half here…okay fine, 1/4). We already know that there are cars that can go in water, as well as cars that can drive on multiple terrains.
The Amphibious Hybrid is a collaboration of both. The sleek-looking fish-mobile can operate while in the water just the same as it can on land (maybe even better on land). The tires of the vehicle change to accommodate the terrain (closed= paved, half-open= snow/ice, open= water).
The Amphibious Hybrid is definitely the best water-savvy car I’ve ever seen.
