Hey, who doesn’t love a hydrofoil or a wing in ground effect craft (WIG). I’ll post about em, if you got em. And guess what just docked at our doorstep, waving a flag that reads, "Why choose between driving and sailing when you can do both?" Flying cars are so yesterday because the real buzz is about hitting the road and the waves. And leading this aquatic automotive revolution is none other than Poseidon AmphibWorks, straight out of the sunny coasts of San Diego and Miami.
Poseidon is on a mission to make your commute as smooth as a dolphin's dive, whether you're navigating the morning traffic or slicing through the bay. The dream? To transform the choppy experience of today's amphibious vehicles into a glide so smooth, you'll swear you're on a magic carpet. Enter the Trident LS-1, the brainchild of Steve Tice and amphibious vehicle guru Andy Langesfeld. This isn't just any car-boat; it's a hydrofoil that promises to lift your spirits (and itself) above the waves for that buttery smooth ride.
Imagine cutting through the water with 60% less drag, making turns so steady you'd think you're on rails. That's the Trident LS-1 for you, using its sleek blades to lift the hull and your expectations. It's not just about getting from A to B; it's about cruising there on a cushion of air.
And for anyone who's ever turned green at the thought of a boat trip, here's some good news: the Trident LS-1 is designed to banish seasickness back to the depths. "It's like flying over water," says Tice. And with gravity anchoring you down comfortably, turns feel as natural as if you were banking in a plane.
Set to start prototype production later this year, the Trident LS-1 isn't playing by the usual rules. It's an electric, three-wheel marvel that zips up to 95 mph on land before gracefully transitioning to water. Picture it: driving straight from your driveway onto a ramp and into the sea, without skipping a beat. Whether it's another day at the office or a weekend fishing trip, this car-boat hybrid is all about seamless transitions and endless possibilities.
So, to those who live by the shore and dream of a commute that's as thrilling as it is efficient, keep your eyes on the horizon. Poseidon AmphibWorks is charting a course toward a world where your vehicle is as versatile as your lifestyle, proving once and for all that the future belongs to those who dare to dream both on land and sea.
