Giant truck transforms into a high-speed boat in seconds

The latest boat-truck concept built by leading amphibious automaker Gibbs Technology is designed to be as adept on land as an all-terrain vehicle while being as fully capable in the water as patrol and rescue boats. While the the 30-foot long vehicle can carry up to 15 passengers, it only weighs as much as a standard SUV (4500 pounds), thanks to a chassis consisting entirely of carbon fiber. Inside is a 500-horsepower jet propulsion diesel engine that enables it to reach highway speeds and cut across the open ocean at 30 mph. More....

 

i think they could improve on the wheels. they look a little small for that size of a vehicle. if they were bigger they could more places. it looks great on water, but on land its so long and has tiny tires, its only limited to streets. i want to see what it can do off road.

 

I think you may have issues if you put too big of tires on that since they lift and tuck into the hull.

 

Pssh... a little trimming and you could clear 285's no problem, just needs the cab mount chop

 

Bye Bye I-95 commuter traffic!

 

They need to make variations of these for Joe Public. I want one!

 

You cant really tell what size the tires are, they may already be 285's.

 

wow, thats the stupidest thing i saw today. lo, thanks
