The Sea Lion has broken the record for the fastest car functioning on land and water. The race car is amphibious, and was constructed by Mark Witt. It was a part of an annual unofficial contest where the top 25 contestants compete from around the globe. Construction of this car first began in 2006, but it was not until more than six years later that this project was completed.
Project Sea Lion was created out of aluminum, and currently it is on sale for $259,500.00. The car has many vents, shaft, pods and has a fully adjustable spoiler in the front. It is the fastest amphibious vehicle because it can reach 60 mph in the water which breaks the record, and can achieve 125 mph on land. With Sea Lion’s sleek silver aluminum design, this silver beast would be perfect for any superhero.
