The "Aquada" is a vehicle manufactured by Gibbs Technologies. The Aquada is capable of driving on the road like a normal car, but it can also transition directly into the water, where it can be operated as a boat. The transition takes about five seconds and can be controlled from the driver's seat.Official Site: Gibbs Technologies
