The car of the future - by Volkswagen

An inventor has come up with a new design for a car that will drive on roads, sand, ice - and even water. Cool!!!

The all-terrain vehicle, which has a top speed of 62mph and works like a hovercraft, can move seamlessly between different surfaces. 

Designer Yuhan Zhang, 21, created the amazing machine - called the Volkswagen Aqua - for a competition sponsored by the German car manufacturer.

The vehicle's sleek sportscar-like design incorporates four high-powered fans and integrated airbags that inflate to lift it from the ground. 

A large windscreen stretches above the front seats to give a panoramic view of the landscape ahead.

 

Based on technology that is currently available, the Aqua uses a hydrogen fuel cell to power two motors - with zero carbon emissions, that's a really 'green' vehicle.

One motor inflates the skirt around the vehicle to make it hover, while the second drives it forwards and controls its direction.

The mechanic design graduate, from China, added: 'I hope Aqua will become an affordable supercar that is available to the general public one day.' 

I wonder when can this car reach Malaysia market, so we can stop worry about petrol price increase!
