In a world with a full range of vehicles, the Toyota Amphicruiser comes onto the market as an absolute eye-catcher. This was also the case at this year's Monaco Yacht Show in Port Hercule. This amphibious car offers the possibility of driving like an SUV on the road as well as cruising like a boat in the water. With a top speed of 135 km/h on the road and a stable driving style in the water, the Amphicruiser from the Netherlands promises a unique driving experience that sets it apart from conventional off-road vehicles.
Toyota Amphicruiser suitable for any terrain
The technology is based on the Toyota Land Cruiser. This allows the Amphicruiser to explore any terrain with ease. The vehicle is approved for both road and water use and has all the necessary European certifications.
With its luxurious design, which is reflected in the interior of the vehicle with fine upholstery and floor coverings, the Amphicruiser is also intended to offer a touch of luxury, according to the manufacturer. The five seats, the automatically raising and lowering roof and the LCD screen on the dashboard ensure comfort.
