Scamander RRV

Built by the late ex-TVR owner Peter Wheeler, the Scamander RRV is a multi-purpose vehicle capable of driving on land or water. Featuring "35-inch diameter tires designed to function like those on a tractor and removable paddles for the only driven wheels, the rear ones." Video after the break.

The body consists of foam-filled plastic pods fixed to a central aluminum tub. All together this keeps weight down to just 2,425 Lbs.

He got into that water pretty easily, but notice that we don't actually see him managing to get out before the video finishes... hmmmm... Also steering seems to be pretty lame - relying on the angle of the front wheels pushing against the water. Perhaps he should consider counter-rotating rear wheels so he can have better directional control.
