This F2O design by Belgian industrial designer [David Cardoso L](http://www.coroflot.com/cardess/profile) has been made to go on the road as well as in the water. Looking like a small aircraft, it has adjustable wheels that can also be used as propellers.

The F2O by David Cardoso L is [electric-powered](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acura-performance-ev-concept), so it is eco-friendly and safe for the fish. The huge rear spoiler suggests that it is a fast going vehicle. Let's hope that this concept will be brought to life one day and will be seen being driven or at least floating somewhere.
