How would you like a vehicle that travels by both land and sea, can transform before your very eyes while being powered by an industry-leading engine?
If this premise sounds too good to be true then you likely haven't heard of the brand-new "Quadski." Created by the innovative company Gibbs Sport Amphibians, the Quadski has the unique ability to morph from a wheeled land dweller to a sea vessel, in a mere five seconds.
And what's more, the Amphibious ATV is powered by a spunky little 1.3-liter BMW powerplant that is capable of whipping up 175-hp and 103 lb.-ft. of torque. It is also able to travel at a steady pace of 45 miles per hour no matter if it's on land or sea.
And the reason for choosing a BMW powerplant for this revolutionary vehicle?
Well, as Gibbs Chariman, Neil Jenkins explains, "We consider this engine to be the most technologically advanced, light-weight engine available today and ideally suited to power a High Speed Amphibian. We are especially pleased to be working with BMW, a premium vehicle manufacturer known throughout the world for product quality and engineering excellence."1
