Amphibious car - would this be the perfect hunting car?
#233361 - 02/08/13 03:07 AM

An amphibious car. Now if it is 4WD and tough enough, what a hunting car it would make for outback and bush hunting in mixed land and wetland environments.

Could have some uses.

It's that "in between" stage of water / mud that you need
something to get across more than anything.

So I'd like to see how it goes on swamp which
isn't all water and isn't all dry land.

The wheels appear to retract in the water. I'm thinking something might break or shake apart in rough country. Still its a start and maybe we will see tough amphibious 4WD's in the future.

Yep mud or shallow swamp/wetlands might still be challenging.

"Marine Propulsion: Panther Jet"

Maybe that would work though?

"Water Speed: 44 mph
Land Speed: 80+ mph
Fuel: 91 Octane Pump Gas"

Land speed is a bit slow. I wonder what the land range/fuel tank size is?

John

My guess is it is either full water or full land.

I think the jet will only work in
full water.

I still think a small hover craft would
be a good thing over water and / or mud.

Now that would be versatile.

Are the fringe benefits included?

Yes, it would.

I could use it for sure because a fair few places in Aus
you can drive straight in.
