Britain's newest sports car took a test drive Wednesday, zooming back and forth across the waters of the Thames River in pure James Bond style.
The Aquada can hit speeds of 100 miles an hour on land -- and once it hits water, the wheels retract into the wheel arch, jets kick in, and the car is suddenly a boat.
Once waterborne it can reach speeds of 30 miles per hour, according to Gibbs Technologies, the British firm that designed it.
With a sticker price of about $235,000, the convertible has no doors in order to avoid leaks. Drivers and passengers must jump over the side to get into the car -- just like a boat.
The vehicle can switch to cruising on water within seconds, and the drive mechanism switches to power a jet that propels the vehicle, according to the company.
One hundred of the cars are being built and will sell at the end of this year.
