World Water Day: Cars that drive on water
SeaRoader Lamborghini Countach
February 23, 2016, 05:39 ISTWorld’s first amphibious Lamborghini is a mid-engined (for ballast) Countach that was modded by SeaRoader aquatecht Mike Ryan.
“If it’s got wheels, I’ll make it float!” boasts Ryan, who has also converted jeeps, motorcycles, a London taxi cab and even an ice-cream van into water-going vehicles.
According to Ryan, the glass alone cost $3,007 (around Rs 2 lakh). In the water, a hydrofoil at the front of the car lifts the nose of the Countach, while hydraulic activators compress its Formula 1-style suspension system.
