Gibbs Quadski Ampbibian ATV

Now, this seems really cool for our summer vacations. Gibbs Technologies Ltd, known for there Mazda Miata/MX-5 based Amphibian, “Aquada” has made a prototype of a commercially viable high-speed amphibian Quadbike/All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) which they smartly call Quadski.

The Quadski is the third demonstration of Gibbs’ HSA technology following the of the Aquada and the Humdinga. According to the company, the Quadski prototype is capable of travelling up to 50 mph (72 kph) on land and water and makes the transition “at the flick of a switch” as the company characteristically says. Bellow you can see a video clip of the Gibbs Quadski in real action.

Alan Gibbs, founder of UK based Gibbs Technologies Ltd.: “Quadski is both exciting and practical with a multitude of uses. I know consumers will love the fun of driving a Quadski on land one minute and then head straight into the sea or river the next. But there is a very serious side to Quadski as well: emergency services and aid workers will be able to reach areas and people no two or four wheel drive vehicle could reach.” Via: Autoblog.it
