"It is a great beast. It drives fantastically well on land and then it turns into the most remarkable boat on water." Sir Richard Branson.

It was the stuff of legend… a high performance amphibious vehicle. People around the world have aspired to it for a hundred years. While there have been numerous attempts to make a vehicle that could travel on water and land, nobody has made one that is actually very good in either environment - until now. The Gibbs Aquada offers uncompromising performance that blows other amphibians out of the water and leaves them floundering on land.

The Gibbs Aquada is the showcase vehicle of Gibbs High Speed Amphibious (HSA) technology. The award winning engineering is highly sophisticated but the end result is a simple and seamless experience. On the road you get all the handling of a sport scar. Getting into the water is as simple as driving down a boat ramp or beach, and pressing a button. Within seconds its wheels tuck gracefully under its body, the front of the car lifts up and you're planing at 30mph, leaving an elegant arc of spray in your wake.

No wonder the Aquada is so often compared to the submarine car in the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me.

Your neighbor loves his convertible, his son is impressed by transformers, but take them for a ride in the Aquada and show them a truly convertible vehicle that transforms itself from sleek sports car to jet propelled speedboat. With the new Aquada you will be making waves both literally and figuratively. The distinctive styling is instantly recognizable, and sometimes you just don’t want to blend in.

There will be serious and significant applications of High Speed Amphibious technology that will change the world our children live in. Vehicles that travel on land and water double the utility of the car, representing the single biggest automotive development for a century, and will potentially change current transportation models. . HSA could change the commute and the urban landscape in numerous cities where water is plentiful and roads are packed - Manhattan, Paris, London, Miami, Sydney, Singapore, Shanghai. Gibbs Amphibians will be developing a range of Rescue vehicles that will enable first responders to reach disasters and transport victims directly to medical facilities. The American Military can use HSA to transform itself into the fleet and responsive force America will need as it faces the challenges of the future.

But first there is the Aquada - pure pleasure. America, with our abundant lakes, rivers and thousands of miles of coastline, provides a huge playground for you in the ultimate sports vehicle – the Gibbs Aquada. Explore the possibilities.
