BMW engine to power Gibbs Quadski amphibious ATV
« on: September 19, 2012, 07:29:41 PM »
Just what you need if you are a Jet Ski enthusiast......................................

BMW is going off-road, really off-road.
 
Gibbs Sports Amphibians has announced that it will use one of the Bavarian automaker’s four-cylinder motorcycle engines to power its Quadski amphibious vehicle when it goes into production later this year.
 
The unique four-wheeler can be ridden like an ATV on land, then tuck in its wheels and turn into a boat with a top speed of 45 mph thanks now to the 175 hp four-cylinder K 1300 it will borrow from BMW’s Motorrad motorcycle division.
 
Pricing for the Quadski will be announced in October, but a Gibbs representative says it will be on sale in North America before the end of 2012.

Looks like a "go straight" jet ski. I don't think it's turning angle will be near as good as the jet skis we are accustomed too.  :nixweiss:
