How many times have you thought wouldn't it be cool to have a Jetski which you could drive on the land ?

Quadski is powered by a 140 BHP petrol driven engine, which provides drive to the wheels on land and a marine jet pump on water. It is capable of travelling at 50 mph (72 km/h) on both land and water and the transition from one medium to the other takes less than five seconds. On entering water, the wheels are retracted into the body of the vehicle at the flick of a switch. Quadski's fuel tank allows it to travel for up to two hours on water and has a land range of 600 kilometres.
Mr Gibbs ( You may remember the Gibb's Aquada the high speed amphibious car which set a few records, most notably in the hands of Richard Branson ) said the Quadski fills a "vital gap" for farmers and other outdoor workers who need amphibious flexibility in their transportation, adding that it would also "delight off-road enthusiasts who refuse to stop at the water's edge."
No word on pricing yet but I think the Aquada car is about £150,000 so don't expect this baby to be cheap !
