Usually if you want to go boating, you get in your car and go to rent a boat and take a boat ride.

 

The wealthier ones drag their own boats to the port using a truck or SUV. But what if we told you that you could actually do both in the same car?

 

And that's what we have here, YouTuber AdamC3046 illustrated in the video embedded above.

 

It is a seventh generation Ford Fiesta that has been converted into an amphibious vehicle and is still roadworthy in the UK. According to the program presenter, it is a father and son insurance scheme.

 

The cool thing about Ford's amphibious car is that it can still be recognized as a Fiesta even at first glance.

 

While the top half comes from the small car, though the bottom half shows the Dutton Reef's fiberglass body. The wheels are also Fiesta stock alloys.

 

In order for the conversion to work, some modifications were used to this feast. The engine was moved behind the rear seats and the exhaust position was shifted higher for obvious reasons.

 

While the wheelbase has also been extended to fit the mid-engine configuration, the roof has been trimmed for some outdoor boating fun.

 

For the propeller to operate, there is a transfer case that allows power to be transferred to the propeller while in the water.

 

The pedal also still controls acceleration, while the rudders turn left or right depending on steering wheel inputs.

 

It's a fun machine, no doubt, but it's not without flaws. With a maximum cruising speed of 7 knots on the water or about 8 miles per hour (13 kilometers per hour). It is by no means a speedboat.
