Yes, it is amphibious and road legal.
If you want to go boating you can get in your car and go to a boat rental. The most wealthy people use a truck or SUV to tow their boats to the port. What if we told you that both can be done in one car?
This is what we have, as featured by YouTuber . The embedded video is embedded below. It’s a seventh generation Ford Fiesta, which has been converted to an amphibious vehicle and is still road legal in the UK. It is a father and son lockdown project, according to the presenter.
The best thing about this amphibious Ford Fiesta is its ability to be recognized as an Amphibious Ford even when it appears unfamiliar. While the upper half is from the subcompact vehicle, the bottom shows the fiberglass body of Dutton Reef. These wheels also come from stock Fiesta alloys.
A few modifications were made to this Fiesta in order for the conversion process to work. For obvious reasons, the engine has been moved behind rear seats. The exhaust has been moved higher to make it more practical. To accommodate the mid-engine configuration, the wheelbase was extended. The roof was removed for open-air boating.
A transfer case allows propellers to transmit power while they are in water. The pedal controls acceleration, and the steering wheel controls the rudders.
While it is a fun boat, there are some drawbacks. It is not a speedboat, but it can cruise at 7 knots or 8 miles per hour on the water. However, there aren’t many Ford Fiestas that can drive both on land and water.
