This Could Be The Car For You,

if you live in the middle of nowhere and have to cross rivers and streams to get to work, it is the brain child of 21 year old Yuhan Zhang, a designer from China, called the Volkswagen Aqua it is a futuristic hovercraft concept car,

it is designed to cope with the wide variety of terrain which covers China, from the lakes, rivers and coastal waters, to the roads, wetlands and snow and ice, so the bad news is no longer can you make the excuse of being late for work, like the road was flooded or covered in snow if you bought one! like most hovercraft, the Volkswagen Aqua uses more than one engine, the primary motor, which is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, is used to drive the main fan which inflates the skirt around the vehicle and raises the Aqua just above the ground, the fans at the rear of the vehicle are powered by individual electric motors to provide forward thrust and directional control, also the top speed is a little low at just 60 m.p.h. or so, but what a mind and skill Yuhan Zhang must have to develop such a project at 21 years old.
