This amazing fibreglass off road vehicle is the creating of Peter Wheeler, owner of British sports car manufacturer TVR, sadly Peter has passed away but his wife rounded up a team of engineers and made his dream become a reality.

why not just buy a ford rapter?
Noisy like a vacuum cleaner hahaha 🙂
Cars on Mars
if the guy who developed this is the former boss of TVR… it explains A LOT. in both the good and the bad!!!
What we’re watching here, is an absolute waste of money, hard work, and time. I mean, yeah, the design is awesome, it can “swim”.. but it’s almost as long as a limo, and as low as a nissan murano.. you can’t take this vehicle rock crawling, or mud bogging. if this is supposed to be the ultimate off road vehicle, it should do that and more.. It’s just not that great..

It doesn’t have THAT much suspension travel and it seems too long, low, and wide. Notice how tentatively Harry dries it on the rough stuff. On soft sand or mud it’d be hopeless, whereas a Meyer’s Manx or other dune buggy would keep on going. This thing seems too confining and noisy. In low-traction environments the driver needs to be in the open where he can apply his senses to the quest for grip. Once again I think a dune buggy has this beat in every department but the “gee whiz” factor. Harry

OMFG, That thing looks like and the engineering and aerodynamics is like something out of a Scifi. But someone actually built it in real life. Shut Up and Take My Money!!!

looks very futuristic. I wouldn’t be surprised if some sci-fi movie used it some day.

I used to live in Scamander Tasmania (it is a actual place ) allthough this one is named after the greek river god which I imagine so is the town in Tasmania what with it being on a river .

You think the first car that was made was fast? So that was a waste of money making the the first car because it was slow right? No, over time we progressed to making cars faster & faster because of that invention. Use some commonsense!

“SUCH A SMOOTH RIDE” (guy bumping his head to the glass and roof) clank clonk clank sounds all over the place LOL i dont want to know what a non smooth ride is for this guy…..
Harry’s videos are always a joy to watch.

Now kill ur self!
amerkans…
fix ur grammer
IT DOESN’T FLY TOO ??
you are right, this is one of the most amazing cars i have ever seen. Absolutley unique and pure dreams. The fact that this things exists gives me hope.
I guess I have to give the design some credit but for everything else… I don’t know.It looks and sounds like a Corn Harvester beeing molded into the shape of a Sportscar.
hmmm. Now if they could somehow fit some chopper blades on top that fold up and stow in the back….. it could take the world by land, sea, and air!
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
besides the engine, what a peice of crappy 7th grade engineering. Everything about it was done wrong
Quite.
Don’t think he does go to school.
with a mad TVR body, it would be perfect. maybe.
how does it turn?
good one 🙂
Turn on subtitles, enjoy the video even more
radio please..
That swan was like DAFUQ!?!?
Why bother to build a one off car. Buy a tank…
cars make bad boats. boats make bad cars. probably fun for a afternoon though.
what the fuck is that sound!!….
Dear santa
see u in top gear !
this must be a lot of fun to drive!!!
Only evo can release a video like this, one of the reasons i’m still subscribed, thank you evo, thank you harry, you’re awesome!
SALAMANDER.
ماعندك سالفه
looks like the rovers from Prometheus
A cart and horse were never meant for each other but someone put them together and it revolutionised transporting things to market. The steam engine was never designed for vehicles but it was put on one and it lead to a revolution in transport. Most things since have been developments rather than new ideas. Wht not put them together? It may lead nowhere but who knows if no one tries?
your dad’s sperm and your mum’s egg were never meant to be combined.
they built trucks jeeps and boats for a reason. They were never meant to be combined.
TAKE MY MONEY
Yeah you are totally right man. FUCK INVENTION! Let’s just all stay at this age of technology and never advance! FUCK SCIENCE! *sarcasm* incase you are too stupid to know.
that is freaking awesome..
Wow, it didn’t look like it, but the car is actually a good swimmer. I expected it to be slow and hard to control in water.
روووعه والله
look like very good car =)
man…..i see future space 4×4 in this…. maybe they should modify it to use on Mars!
wow
is this the mini tumbler for sale
i just feel sorry for u
How much>??????
wow….how much is that car…???
Swan at 11:45 is like dafuQ?
super ,le prix doit être exorbitant, mais ce n’est pas nouveau, la voiture amphibie .très bien .
James Bond called. He wants two of them with torpedoes attached to it.
I believe Batman crashed his. Surely he needs another.
Thinking that it was made for speed hay … thats a good way to think about it -.-“There is no need to be meen to other people. Play Nice o.o
This is Madness!!
So what would you invest it in? Drugs? A prostitute? It’s a one off vehicle. This kind of project is the reason we have cars at all. If no one bothered to push the limits and try new things we would still be on horses. You’re the idiot because all you’re good for is shouting down someone else’s hard work. At least Mcdonalds will have an employee for life when you leave school.
Never said I could do better, but that much money invested into a piece of shit is a waste of time. also, you’re a fucking idiot. LOL because neither you can do better.
Can you do better? No? Thought not so shut up.
nice. how much 0-100kmh in the water?
need a car more from the show
It makes a horrid noise in the cab
I LIKE THIS THING
boat goes too fucking slow, what a waste of money making a shitty car.

I’d take this over a moon buggy
ترفيه وتسليه
ازعاج
ماتطييير
كايفه
it doesn’t fly …
Can you jump it?
Also, the raptor can’t even come close to the cool/awesome factor of the Scamander.
Harry Metcalfe > Chris Harris…. someone had to say it.
I’m pretty sure a raptor can’t go on the water
When will Top Gear take this for a spin?
seat belt?
i wasn’t expecting you so early misour bond
What’s the NMPG? (Nautical Miles Per Gallon)
Or else you can weld the suspension together, fully seal the whole car, put foam all around the engine and put a 225hp outboarder on the back :DThough… I get the feeling that someone else have done that already.
wait not all
All of it filmed with a IPhone 4.Nice quality!
Good jop !
A Jeep….
geil geil geil! i want to go to there!
awesome vehicle!! Thumbs up!! =o)
its cool but god damn its sounds like it would give you a killer headache from all the different noises going on
oh god, whatever -.-”
I dont even know why you are taking this so seriously on youtube, does it really matter, what I say is not hurting you. Are you hurt by what I said? if you are you are the person that needs to come to planet earth my friend. Have a good day little man.
you can put a ”emoticon” at the end or write ”just kiddin” nobody’s gonna hurt you
Do you really think I was serious about what I said? Smh no sense of humor
Harry you lucky bastard!!! 🙂
Yeah apparently this cars death trap activation button gets hit around (8:02). Dual hair dryer action til the death homie.
Omfg. LoL!
do you really need all these staff? -.-”bulletproof? are you fucking kiddin’ me???land back to earth man
It doesnt dive underwater, its not bulletproof and it only goes 5 mph on water……………..ill pass
Wait isnt 11 inches less than a defender? lol
This vehicle would be spectacular for any moron who doesn’t know when to stop driving on flooded roads…. It could also make for one amazing rescue vehicle!
In Urdu/Hindi, ‘Samander’ translates to ‘sea’, I thought it would be pronounced the same (despite the c) and named so because of where it can take you 😛
The iPhone of cars! lol
Boat mode at 11:25
impeller.. water jet actually..impeller
Wouldn’t look out of place as a Prometheus prop
What more could you want? Well we’re closing in on 2015, and according to Back to the Future 2 we should have flying cars by then.
Amazing video for an amazing vehicle
I JUST WANT 1, and i will put it through its paces all over Australia’s WIDE VARIED LAND ….mind glowingly amazing piece of true multi tasking engineering and development…melting into THE most awesome vehicle i have ever seen…come on guys, let’s put it to the ULTIMATE TEST’s !!! ….come on over, let ME do things to it and take it places you’s only ever dreamed about, to prove once and for all its TRUE WORTH.
Apparently the dual hair dryers just stay on.
That Swan (@11:30) needs to be on Top Gear
Why is this guy filming himself. They have access to this car but could not afford and extra guy to hold the camera?
You shut up.
shutup
Mars rover
What is the annoying turbine sound? Unbearable!
Looks cool, looks bumpy, sounds to loud in the cabin. Work out all the bugs & it will be a best seller!
If only this vehicle can fly too!^_~
It would be cooler it it went underwater.
My dad fixed the gearbox of this vehicle!
Visai interesants braucamrīks.Hammers uz ko tādu nebūs spējīgs.
But will it blend?
the Swan didn’t care
amazing
This reminds of the outside..
Bruce Wayne just called, he wants to know does it come in black?No reason, just curious…
11:30 That swan is like : “Really? You gonna drive a car into water? Are you crazy? OK, everything went better than expected.”
Looks like a star trek landing vehicle or something. Man would I want one of these.
I’m sorry but those fans r to loud. “It’s fine when your on the road”. Y the hell would i take it on the road if it’s 5 times as fun off road. There should be a way to give it the proper amount of cooling without having so much noise. Maybe water bearing and look into stuff done for PC-s as there a ton was invested to make sure u get as much as u can with little noise. Examples NOCTUA and SILVERSTONE.
Did you even watch the video? I don’t think you understand what’s going on.
This Amazing Vehicle Would Be Perfect As a Rescue Vehicle.
LOL i found this when i sunk in a lake last week now i drive a hovercraft just in case
that*
boring rubbishhummer h1 does better than thant
I want to see this at full tilt on a speed chase in a movie
rethinking the Batmobile…
Such an awesome vehicle, but get the camera on the outside of the car so we can see it drive… float. They did not even show it come out of the water. Bah, so annoying, could have been a really awesome car review and debut.
I bet the vehicle following it and fliming it from the rear was a land rover.
The most boring film, fascinating car!
that swan is a boss..
zombie apocalypse vehicle
Make something better than this, then you can be justified in writing that comment.
I would Kill to hear what Jeremy has to say about it
Looks must of been Inspired by total recall….
Ugly as fuck, but still kinda… too ugly and futuristic so it’s kinda good looking as well. Reminds me some futuristic car what you drive in Mars one day 😀 I want one.
lol
I’d bet you’r special.
loud, slow, flat … nothing special
Amazing all terrain vehicle !
When you close the roof, you can amputate your fingers.Delirious car!!!
colll collll colll….
No one ever thinks that they need a propeller…until suddenly, they do.
yeah the benchmark should be i.e the 2013 200MPH capable shelby gt500 and the shelby1000 i lack imaginatioon well how bout this…i imagine u being a wierdo adult trying make arguements outa anything so get over yourself
Great…so the benchmark for all future automotive projects needs to be a Ford. You shouldn’t even be on this page because you lack imagination, art and vision.
u ever need a propeller…nope u dont
That horrible sound is really of putting!!
Three Best things in the World for me now:]:]:]:]:]:]:]1. Lin——My girlfriend!2. 99Cheap. com–the Cheapest JERSEYS site！3. the video above—- the most ironical and interesting video I think:]:]:]:]:]:]:]:]:]
put your seat belt on, you maniac
noisy but cool
Now they need to make a car that goes underwater and fly!
raptor has a propeller?
I hate to have my inner geek show but this looks like something out of mass effect.
i dare say, the only thing it lacks is AWD…
Wheeler is awesome.
Does is have a cup holder
Wow look at all the hate in here. Guys even if someone gives you a million dollar funding to do something remarkable. All you would be able to do is shit compared to this.
Ford Raptor…nuff said
A ford raptor is 1000x better comes 80 offroad
Bravoooooooooo!!!! Excelent!!!
neat concept, unfortunately it appears to have the steering capability of a potato in the water.
make it water tight with a telescoping intake snorkel…and make it a submarine
Coptit magnifique et la fermeture tu toit aussu avec la possibilité de charger en plus sortirai en diesel sans pouvoir aller dans l’eau j’acheterai breff bon design j’en veux lol
Get this thing on Top Gear!
The fans inside would get on my damn nerves. High pitched whine in your ear just sitting there? No that’s not terribly enjoyable.
TRANSFORMER !
I want to see this vehicle on top gear
This would come in handy for when I need to drive through water.
Well, I doubt a Subaru could attack the moorland in the same way that did, if not for ground clearance, then suspension travel alone.
Aside from swimming in the water, how is this any better then a Subaru set up for rally? or even most stock Subaru?
Next milestone, noise dampening? XD I am sure it hurts the ears in the vehicle.
Mark 1 Mako?
This needs to be on Top Gear!
Exactly. Loads of innovation, a production run of one (1).
SWAN!
no seatbelt?? SHAME ON YOU
If I see the Google Drive commercial one more time…
That thing doesn’t come cheap you know even if they produced it few people would buy it.
let me guess, yet another prototype people would love, but will never get the chance to buy
It sounds like they’re murdering a sheep!
you can always put a snorkel on the intake.
I’m going to buy it 😀
HAHAHA So true
“… how soft the ride is.” You’re going up and down, what are you talking about?!
thats funny because harry looks like the prophet of truth
I’ll take 3 with armour plating and bullet resistant glass and kevlar ride flat tires.Oh and independent air supply
Next up, a variant that can takeoff from road, mud and water.
It needs 44″ All Terrains.
The swan at 11min 45 secs is like WTF
Must send it to Top Gear! (UK).
stick to the road lads. stay off the moors. god be with you.
