Following on from my hovercraft question, and as part of the same project, does anyone know what is the fasted wheeled landing craft? Something along the lines of a DUKW, although not necessarily as big. It's the water speed I'm interested in, not really too fussed about the land speed.

Thanks.

OK, I take it back, you're not pitching for dragon's den, your auditioning to play 'Q' in the next Bond movie. ๐Ÿ™‚

Rinspeed did something lotusy with hydrofoils I think, or it went underwater, or both. Maybe it had machine guns or a magnet that undid lady's zips. Something like that

That Bowler wildcat, just got to make sure you drive flat out otherwise the tyres will stop aquaplaning and it'll go under!

That looks fun Ian. Their concept definately has potential.

Spooky, what tyres for aquaplanning? ๐Ÿ˜‰

Spiffing. Where do I place an order?

This looks like more fun, and it's a snip at $900,000
