A car that turns into a speedboat




London, England (CNN) -- California-born Dave March has always had a passion for cars and boats.

He started building and repairing them in 1976 when he opened a garage in sunny Fountain Valley, California.

But March wanted more than owning and working with the coolest cars and speedboats -- he dreamed of a great car that could go straight from the highway into the ocean: an amphibious car.

"In the late 1990s there were some amphibious cars on the market, but in the water they pretty much just floated," March told CNN. "What I wanted to do was to reach freeway speeds in water," he added.

March founded WaterCar Inc, and in 2006, released his first amphibious vehicle, the Python.

March claims it is the fastest amphibious car in the world.
