Scamander RRV can cover any ground (and water)

Brenda Stokes, Jun 16th 2009 Discuss [0]

Now this is pretty cool. The Scamander was built to go over anything and it truly lives up to its build promise. Peter Wheeler decided to make a car that could go anywhere and before he died, he saw his dream fulfilled. It sports 35-inch tires, paddles on the rear wheels, individual braking systems, and a 2.0 litre Ford Zetec engine. He called it an "RRV" or a "rapid response vehicle" because it could change its function immediately for whatever you needed. The body is constructed from foam plastic pods that are situated within the aluminum frame, making it aerodynamic and lightweight--perfect for those treks through the lake. It can hold four people and is really just about one of the coolest cars ever. Good on you Mr. Wheeler! [via Coolest Gadgets]
