- metateck, on 01/31/2008, -0/+19Something like this definitely needs a video. http://youtube.com/watch?v=GWNirax06_A&feature=rel ...
- ryan83189, on 01/31/2008, -1/+11The jokes on you, I don't have to push any button to drive my car into a lake!
- inactive, on 01/31/2008, -0/+8125 is plenty of speed if you consider the fact that the majority of people can't drive.
Anyone that knows how to drive decently could outrun a cop at 45mph. - lpmiller, on 01/31/2008, -2/+9Now that's thinking. A car that both contributes to the melting of the ice caps, and has a plan to deal with it.
- bosssmiley, on 01/31/2008, -1/+8"Top Gear" covered this years ago in a feature on Rinspeed being the maddest car design house in the world (with the chucklesome irony that they come from car-hating Switzerland). Old news - the Daily Mail aren't even trying recently.
Link semi-related. Rinspeed Splash crossing the English Channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWNirax06_A - bightchee, on 01/31/2008, -1/+5I wonder what that guy's M.A.S.K. helmet shoots out.
- moo113, on 01/31/2008, -2/+5More than meets the eye.
- DaDiggydiggyDOC, on 01/31/2008, -2/+5I'd love to have this car and then just not tell anyone that it is a boat, then drive into a lake! Now that would be funny! Does it come with water ski's?
- Philbert, on 01/31/2008, -0/+3compare it to this one
http://youtube.com/watch?v=tgv9nqo0kGs - Philbert, on 01/31/2008, -0/+3This one looks better
http://youtube.com/watch?v=tgv9nqo0kGs - inactive, on 01/31/2008, -0/+3There is a new attempt at this every couple years.
If this is such a great concept why don't see see the price on these coming down and see more of them on the road/water? - Philbert, on 01/31/2008, -0/+2http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1_76ZAq9d0
- kurby, on 01/31/2008, -0/+2The "Splash" is powered entirely by natural gas, which should keep any environmentally James Bonds happy.
Ya, but its not a hybrid! - Sangatious, on 01/31/2008, -0/+2in the video it doesn't see to 'fly' like it does in the article, wonder why.
- protogenxl, on 01/31/2008, -1/+3I think the Aquada looks more like a normal car than this thing.
- Amazetbm, on 01/31/2008, -1/+3...and please bring back this equipment in pristine condition, 007.
- inactive, on 01/31/2008, -0/+2I'm sure there is ONE hidden somewhere in Detroit. We have one in Minneapolis. Anyone can use it to fill up if they have a natural gas vehicle. but it is typically used by the Gas company's vehicles.
But you do make a couple good points. - qotsa07, on 01/31/2008, -0/+1"There is no gas shortage man. It's all fake. The oil companies control everything. Like there is this guy that invented this car and it runs on water man. It's got a fiberglass air-cooled engine and it runs on water." Steven Hyde
- kylere, on 01/31/2008, -0/+1Reading the article helps..."The "Splash" is powered entirely by natural gas, which should keep any environmentally James Bonds happy,"
- inactive, on 01/31/2008, -0/+1I'll take one if they come in red.

- TheUnlearn, on 01/31/2008, -0/+1I don't know about other states but in NC a regular driver's license is sufficient for boating.

- joebaloney, on 01/31/2008, -0/+1I was disillusioned when it took two guys with a rope to pull it out of the surf. James Bond indeed.
- KaJuN4, on 01/31/2008, -0/+1As soon as I saw the title I knew Rinspeed were up to their old tricks. Thank you Top Gear for introducing me to this insane car company!

They premiered it in 2004, that's over 3 years ago... - thailand1972, on 01/31/2008, -0/+1right wing? Give me an example. I'll give you a counter example from The Guardian, The Independent and The Times of them being "right wing". It's a very vague "accusation".
- Animental, on 01/31/2008, -0/+1Dugg for M.A.S.K.ness. Matt Tracker would be proud.
- ozziek, on 01/31/2008, -2/+2It seats two so where do the 3 guys go that are needed to pull it out of the water at the end? (see video)
- sl3eper, on 01/31/2008, -1/+1Car as a boat? Old.
Car as a hydrofoil? Now thats worth a digg. - Elefantibus, on 01/31/2008, -0/+0That's actuallt pretty old. It was presented on the "Genfer Autosalon" in 2004. They plan on presenting a car which can dive in march. More informations on http://www.rinspeed.com
- sponeil, on 01/31/2008, -0/+0Why not just steal the car? You know, take it out for a test drive - in the river.
