This candy apple colored all electric multi-amphibious vehicle was recently unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show by Korean electric vehicle producer CT&T. Looking more like a six wheeled golf cart than the latest in innovative auto-tech, the electric amphibious car can reach speeds of up to 40 miles per hour on land.
For decades, hobbyists, auto producers and science fiction writers have come up with a variety of amphibious vehicles, all of which seemed to fall short of realistic. Is CT&T’s electric amphibious car the next great auto innovation, or just another MAV?
