I could build a car with those capabilities for less.

Wouldn't be a production car though.

Some fiberglass bodied car (Fiero?), lightened and sealed up to be 
buoyant. Foamed in panels for flotation.
Gasoline engine running a generating system capable of supplying 
electricity to motorized wheels (4WD?) or an electric water jet.

I've worked on similar hybrid electric vehicle systems (minus the water 
jet). I could see how it might be done. I bet I could do it for $100K, 
or less, minus my labor. ;-)

You've been watching too much Junk Yard Wars (Scrap Heap Challange in the
UK).

I LIKE it.
