I thought i'd seen it all...

Toyota have announced today that they will be producing a car able to go on water. This seems to be a similar idea to what Top Gear attempted, and somewhat succeeded to do, a few series back. Toyota have claimed that the new "Toyota Odyssey", due to begin production in 2011, will be fitted with full sonar, radio communication and radar along with the usual devices you'd find in a normal car. The Amphibicar, as its now being called, will be in both km/h and knots. At the click of a button, bouyancy aids will inflate around the vehicle and a propeller will emerge from the rear, it really is as simple as that.

A Toyota spokesman told Sky News "It's something that has been in the pipeline for a number of years, and now we've made it a reality. It's exactly like driving a normal car, the only difference is you can drive into the sea with it."

What a great idea, It had to come eventually, I reckon that within a few years once these have got around it's going to give P&O a run for their money. Mind you, at a cost of £54,000, I think we might have to wait for the recession to be over.
