WaterCar Gator, Car Amphibious

From the side view, this Jeep is not nothing special. Standard body-standard, just a sexy girl who was on the hood of the car attraction.

Indeed, the original Jeep vehicle but his base is not an old Volkswagen Bettle who can walk on water, the work of WaterCar. The company specifically created the amphibious vehicle is based in California. Established since 1976, not a car little water has been generated between various models of Python.
For jeep called Gator, his idea was inspired by the car Myers Manx Buggy artificial beach 1960. Here, VW Bettle WaterCar wear old to make it happen.

The original body is not used and replaced with the Jeep Wrangler body kit made of fiberglass. Other components are replaced, including the gearbox and transmission, coupled with the driving machine (water jet propulsion), high torque drive axles, front and rear suspension, steering assembly and stainless steel materials for use in certain parts. Total spent $ 29.500 (€ 22,300).

The rough and ready VW rear engine assembly bolts seamlessly to the Patented WaterCar transmission gearbox. This allows for on-road drivability and on-water cruise-ability.

For the exterior, the Jeep CJ8 WaterCar still rely on as part of the roof, doors, glass, lamps, chairs, mirrors and more. Amphibious car is not constrained by a high speed. When shot in the water can only reach 12 km per hour.
