Rinspeed Splash
February 23, 2016, 05:45 ISTToday on World Water Day, we present to you vehicles that can be driven on water, or were made to do the same.
Swiss sportscar tuning firm Rinspeed built an amphibious car in 2004. The vehicle can go with speed 31 mph (50 km/h) on water. On land, the Rinspeed, has a top speed of 124 mph (200 km/h).
This hydro car is powered by natural gas, and it’s the first amphibious vehicle to be fueled by this environmentally-friendly resource.
It has a 750cc, two-cylinder, turbo-charged engine, and its integrated hydrofoil design can be deployed at water depths over four feet.
