Now, The All-Terrain Volkswagen Aqua ‘Hovercraft Car’


A 21-year-old Chinese designer Yuhan Zhang has created an all-terrain vehicle that can be driven on land, ice and water.

The ‘Volkswagen Aqua’ with a top speed of 62 miles per hour, works just like a hovercraft & moves seamlessly over different terrains.

Made for a competition asking designers to create a ‘Chinese off-road vehicle‘ and sponsored by the well-known German car manufacturer, the Volkswagen Aqua’s sleek sportscar-like design incorporates 4 high-powered fans & integrated airbags which inflate to lift the vehicle from the ground.

Stretching above the front seats is a large windscreen that provides a bird’s-eye view of the landscape ahead.

Based on currently available technology, the Volkswagen Aqua utilizes a hydrogen fuel cell in order to power 2 motors – with zilch carbon emissions.

One motor helps inflate the skirt around the Aqua to make it hover and the second helps drive it forwards & controls its direction.

Yuhan hopes that one day the Volkswagen Aqua becomes an affordable supercar that’s available to the public.
