Electric Audi Hydron is Both a Car and a Boat


Designer David Cardoso has created a concept car bound to get your attention: an eletric car that not only drives on land but also at sea.
The cocept might seem hair-brained, but let's not forget that the FAA recently approved a flying car. So a production model amphibious car might not be that far off!

Called the Audi Hydron, the 'automoboat' is a three-seater, electric amphibious vehicle. Where most amphibious cars are moded road cars, the Hydron would be a production model. It has a narrow cockpit to reduce water resistance, tapered doors to move water from the front of the car to the rear, and a electric motor at each wheel capable of pivoting 90°.
