It always helps to have backup when you’re on a super-secret amphibious mission, or just out having a good time.
For either situation, Gibbs Sports Amphibians has introduced the first two-passenger version of its Quadski land/water ATV.
Called the Quadski XL, the unique vehicle features a boat-like hull and retractable wheels that allow it to transition from dirt road driving to seafaring fun in about 5 seconds. It’s about one foot longer than the single-passenger model and gains about 100 pounds to tip the scales at 1,437 pounds – about twice that of a typical ATV.
A 140 hp four-cylinder BMW motorcycle engine sends power to either the rear wheels or Gibbs’ proprietary water-jets, propelling the Quadski XL to a top speed of 45 mph on land or water.
Pricing has not yet been announced, but the single-passenger Quadski sells for $40,000, and the Quadski XL goes on sale later this year.

They had this on "TechToys" on Velocity this weekend. Yeah it cost 40G's, but it is cool how it can do both land/water and do 45mph on both water and land.

I'm curious why if it does 45 on the water it isn't faster on land.
