The world's fastest amphibious car can go from car to boat

California based Water-Car designer “Fred Selby” has designed the world's fastest Jeep style vehicle “amphibious car” called the “Panther” that can be driven straight from the land into the water and goes from a car to a boat in just 15 seconds. The Panther can carry up to four (4) Passengers in both Land and Water and can sail in both salt and fresh water. Awesome!

The £ 89k Panther vehicle can reach water speed of up to 45 mph almost as fast as an average speed boat and is fitter with a custom made 3.7 liter V6 engine, fiberblass hull and lightweight chromoly steel chassis. 

The wheels are lifted into the chassis using hydraulics and the car switches to a boat using a 'jet drive' lever. The Panther's chromoly steel chassis was designed to slip into a fiberglass hull and can protect it from water damage. The hull is also filled with closed cell Styrofoam to help the car stay afloat. The engine for the Panther is the latest generation Acura 3.7 liter VTEC V-6 engine, custom fitted with aluminum parts, an overhead camshaft cylinder head and 24 valves.

To drive the Panther in water, the driver must put the four-speed gear changer into neutral, switch the transfer case to 'jet drive', hydraulically lift the wheels and tires out of the water, and start boating.
