The Cybercat catamaran concept is imagined as an aftermarket aquatic accessory for the upcoming Tesla Cybertruck electric vehicle that would enable owners to take to the water with their SUV.
Designed by Anthony Diamond, the vessel would work by being affixed onto the main body of the car and positioned into place before providing a top speed of 25mph. Operators could enjoy more than 115-miles of range when traveling at 6mph and would enable them to explore even further with their truck when it's expected to be available in 2023.
The Cybercat catamaran concept has been shown off alongside the Cybercat Foiler that would offer elevated operation on the water. The catamaran is poised to cost between $22,900 and $32,900, and the Foiler would set drivers back between $35,400 and $42,900.
