I wonder if there ever going to mass produce one of these things.

I want to know how this thing works, it acts alot like a speed boat, but I can't see any engines in the back.
 
Amphibious cars (and this is by far not the first one) usually work by putting a propeller on drive shaft, and have it switched on by a transmission or have it constantly running.

There's really little plan to sell these mass produce these things, as there's little market. They're not very good cars nor very good boats. They're complicated expensive and difficult to repair. It makes more sense to most folks just to get a car and a boat.

The only really times when they are very useful is as wartime landing caft: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DUKW

Besides, if you really want land/water entertainment, get a hovercraft.
 
Finally! A way to beat the toll at the Verrazano Bridge!
