When we say amphibious car, you think of the little weenie 1960s Amphicars. They are neat little creatures but are not all that great as cars and frankly worse as boats. The creations by WaterCar, however are a different story altogether. 

These are hot rods on land and sea. Sporting Corvette engines (of which power level you choose) and high performance Dominator Jets, on land, these things will run 12s at the drag strip and they’ll plane over the water at nearly 60 knots.

They have a couple models to choose from, the lead photo of this story happens to be the “Python” which from our eye, melds a Dodge Durango nose and a modified Corvette bum.

On land the ride height is a little strange, but you quickly realize that there is a hull that needs to be lugged around, so laying frame is not an option. It may highside on a tall speed bump, so care needs to be taken on the road. Then again, after you spend $200,000 on one of these hand made-beauts, you’re going to be protective of your investment.

You owe it to your gearhead self to check out the WaterCar website, this stuff will blow your mind.
