Amphibious Car Challenge / Like in Top Gear
ILYA STREKAL
If you remember the old Top Gear, you might remember that interspersed with their tests of exotic over-powered mobiles, they would occasionally throw in one of their do-it-yourself projects that were just a comedy of errors. The above video is more like the second kind. And since they are Russians, they remind me of Garage 54.
Detroit Steve got me started with a link to a history of the original Amphicar, which reminded me that I had posted a video of a much better and much faster amphibious car. That one is from 2009. The builder has kept working on it and now has a production model they are offering for sale. I don't want to know how much it costs, probably just like every other exotic mobile which means it costs as much as a house.
If you ask Google or YouTube there seem to be an endless number of people building their own version.
$158,000 to $198,000.
