The Humdinga is able to reach 40mph on water, thanks to its 350bhp engine that, when using its wheels on the ground, can take the American tank up to over 100mph.

“The wheels retract, the power train switches from the wheels to a jet propulsion system and the vehicle is in amphibious mode” says maker Gibbs Technology, clearly hoping robot fever wins it a bit of positive PR.

The Humdinga is currently a one-off prototype, though, which is probably for the best as even the insurance on a 1.8 Golf is a bit much to swallow these days.
