Gibbs Tech. readies high-speed amphibious vehicles for the States
UK based Gibbs Technologies, a pioneer in high speed amphibian technology, has plans to bring its high-speed, cool amphibious vehicles to the United States. One of the three companies formed in U.S., the Gibbs Amphibians will be responsible for the sales and marketing of the Aquada that can reach the speeds of 30 mph on water. The door-less Aquada has a powerful four-cylinder, 175-hp V6 engine under its hood. For your info, the design work for the Aquada was started in Detroit in 1997 by a team of over 20 engineers. It was later taken to UK for further development.
While the Aquada is available overseas for a whopping $200,000+, it will reach the States in the first half of next year for under $100,000. The second company, Gibbs Sports Amphibians will sell the Gibbs Quadski, the coolest Jet Ski out there while the Gibbs Military Amphibians will provide amphibious vehicles to the military. Both Quadski and Aquada tout their ability to switch from land-to-water or water-to-land in a mere 5 seconds.
