Just run down to your friendly local U S Marine Corps. Maybe they'll loan you one.

UHAC: Marines' amphibious craft propels, paddles in prototype trial
UHAC: Marines' amphibious craft propels, paddles in prototype trial - Pacific - Stripes

Quote:
Killea said the prototype tops out at about 5 mph on the water. The full-size version is expected to move about 25 mph at top speed, he said.

That’s about half the speed of the Navy’s hovercraft, the Landing Craft Air Cushion, or LCAC, an amphibious craft used to shuttle troops and materiel between ship and shore.

But the LCAC isn’t so adept at scrambling over rugged terrain, Killea said. The UHAC can, potentially carrying a heavy payload of supplies to typhoon-damaged areas during humanitarian relief missions.
More pictures and video in the link.

I think that you may be right, although the B&W looks to be a slightly larger car for some reason (small people?).

Caption said German car in Copenhagen, 5th May 1945.

This so called 'Space Truck' by famous German industry-design star Luigi Colani uses 30% less fuel than comparable trucks. And looks way better!

Cripes, I thought that was a new Vette (Ferrari F12).

Ferrari F12 tdf Revealed With More Power, Rear-Wheel Steering
http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1100448_ferrari-f12-tdf-revealed-with-more-power-rear-wheel-steering
Quote:
The 0-62 mph time is just 2.9 seconds and the top speed is in excess of 211 mph. A lap around Ferrari’s Fiorano test track in the F12 tdf can be done in 1:21, which bests the time set by the F12 Berlinetta by two whole seconds.

As mentioned above, just 799 examples will be built—all of which are likely accounted for. Once production is complete, we're likely to see the F12 undergo a mid-cycle update.
