WaterCar
Specifications
The
WaterCar is a fiberglass amphibious vehicle styled after the 2002
Convertible Camaro body style. It is powered by a Turbo charged
2.5 Liter 300 HP Subaru engine. The transmission is a Rancho Type
I-4 speed manual transmission. The four wheel independent suspension
and brakes are late model C-4 Corvette with stainless steel rotors.
The
WaterCar can reach speeds in excess of 125 MPH on land and the drivability
with the Corvette suspension is outstanding. Once the WaterCars
is driven into the water all four wheels are hydraulically retracted
with the flip of a switch. The bottom covers that enclose the wheel
well are also hydraulically extended to create a smooth high speed
bottom which allows the WaterCar to easily hit speeds of 40 MPH
on the water. The Marine Drive is a Berkeley 12JE Jet Drive with
a place diverter to control the ride depending on water conditions.
The WaterCar has four usable seats and the doors are fully functional.
The aircraft style lock assembly assures the doors are completely
water tight for water operation. The WaterCar has a removable center
mount ski pole which makes it ideal for wake boarding or skiing.
This
sporty four-seater makes it possible to drive to the lake, experience
an exhilarating boat ride and drive back home again without ever
leaving your car!
