This is an electric amphibious vehicle and it was designed by David Cardoso Loureiro for the Michelin Challenge Design competition. This three-wheeler concept can hold only one person. Two electric motors power each rear wheel independently
on water and while driving on land. As we all have seen, many car tires
look like propellers. Well, here is what exactly they are – on land
they’re wheels, but when the vehicle get into the water, they change
their direction perpendicularly and turn into propellers which is the
source of propulsion in water. The exact details, like power, batteries
life duration, type of steering system in water, were not mentioned. So
we can enjoy the imagination of the designer only. But this is a
virtually created conceptual vehicle and probably even David Loureiro
doesn’t know these details.
