What It’s Like To Drive The Weirdest Amphibious Car Ever Built | Jason Drives

[@BoterBug]

So glad the format of this didn't change season to season :D My favorite Jalopnik show, hands down.

[@BoterBug]

Actually I take it back - it's definitely a bit longer and the editing is more energetic too. I love this, keep up the good work guys!

[@nutz4gunz457]

Jason Drives is the only reason to stay subscribed to Jalopnik.

[@fartfarmer4951]

Had no idea till you mentioned.... Had to skip some garbage from that channel yesterday... He's great though regardless

[@karlsirois944]

Nutz4Gunz45

[@L_U-K_E]

Same

[@southstar44]

I wanna see Jason driving more wacky, small, uncomfortable, and hilarious vehicles. Those videos were so funny!

[@eduardoluann]

Only in Jalopnik for watching an amphibian car drag race on both land and water. What a time to be alive.

[@CaptainLumpyDog]

Eduardo W. I'm still waiting on my Moon Pie.

[@VeraTheTabbynx]

I would take that amphicar over the hobbycar any day

[@GT-gt4bf]

Jason Drives is life.

[@fupabox]

Slap me if I'm wrong...but.. it looks good from some angles ?? 45 degree view from the rear maybe ?

[@justmechanicthings]

*slap*

[@cmoore185]

They should have gone one step father and made it fly.

[@prylosecorsomething3194]

yes

[@michaelthompson2401]

and made it three weeled

[@cartmanrlsusall]

Should have made it tracked,

[@bobcranberries5853]

And a submarine

[@kirbyswarp]

It has 3 pedals, automatically cooler than a GT-R

[@Aaron-qr3tg]

gt-rs have 3 pedals if u get a manual kid clutch-gas-brake gtfo

[@edifire9737]

Alpha smurf i think he meant the r35 which doesn't come in manual.

[@aarontimm]

The R35 doesn't come in manual? wtf

[@Abel-Alvarez]

ASS MAN it took you how long to notice?

[@bitznpizez]

You forgot to tuck up the wheels. Maybe that's why it didn't perform so good in the water?

[@_FireHeart]

bitznpizez , I noticed that too

[@poiiihy]

he did before he went in

[@emanuelburgest95]

nah the old guy said they tuck up and get held up in the body. thats why he said don't turn the wheels when in the water or they will hit the plastics. Jasons wheels were completely in the water all he did was lower the air suspension

[@Ixapter]

I like seeing cars that can do more than take you from point A to point B! Thanks!

[@Hangoversteer]

I'm a huge fan of this series. Keep up he great work!

[@soliton4]

living in amsterdam i find this little joy car very tempting

[@qatronano]

get the amphicar instead

[@takeoffmedia4355]

sol mij ook

[@SpaceBearEngineer]

They forgot to mention with Amphicars you are supposed to grease a whole bunch of hard-to-reach areas (including beneath the rear seat...which you have to remove) after EVERY off-shore excursion.

[@Swisconaaaaa]

get a gibbs aquada

[@Leo9ine]

Hell yes! I thought this show was done for. Keep em coming Jason!

[@intro_tech438]

The best Amphibious car I ever seen in my life!

[@joshuadoliveiro]

This has got to be one of the best sources of automotive content on KZbin

[@Vehshya]

Such a great show. Glad to have it back in my feed.

[@CannabinatedFantasy]

By the end of the video I was convinced I needed one

[@niklaswejedal463]

Had forgot about this one, but man, I soooo need one now! :D

[@andrewblankenship9293]

hey that lake looks like the Olympic diving pool

[@AtheistOrphan]

But cleaner.

[@Cutlerylover4life1]

4:52 did they fly the drone into the water!?

[@BRAYdoesCOD]

C.T. Wellington no they zoomed in

[@michaelthompson2401]

no

[@highdynamic4077]

Jason, you must drive an Amphicar some time!

[@L_U-K_E]

I’d love one of those

[@zackboone15]

I'm more interested in the camera car that keeps popping into frame. I could never get away with having this blue abomination, but that red car will draw some jealous looks.

[@ashoan8965]

No shit i actually like this car, it's interesting for me. I'm assuming it wasn't road legal though, no?

[@bradleyj.fortner2203]

I like the Amphicar better. It's got it beat in looks and performance on the water. Which is the only place it counts with these things.

[@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

I knew when that shot over the trunk of the camera car toward the Hobbycar happened on the road that it was an Amphicar! Awesome, I've always wanted one.

[@voiceofreason1629]

Why aren't their more episodes of Jason Drives!?

[@cartmanrlsusall]

the wheels must have been down in the water there is no way an amphicar can outrun a jet drive,I have seen footage of those cars high on a plane moving nicely.he did something wrong to go that slow.

[@leenevin8451]

6:18 look at the front axle

[@tonysmith2360]

I think you are supposed to switch to jet after you get into the water otherwise it's bearings are running dry. Did you put the wheels up in water mode?

[@drdremd]

So much win. I hope you also do the amphacar.

[@Fdjt4ever]

That lake is very green. Where is it located?

[@04dram04]

JASON LOOKS LIKE A CARTOON CHARACTER

[@JasonLihani]

Wow, as soon as they raced this episode literally became Top Gear.

[@Sheehy223]

Wasn't this supposed to be released tomorrow?

[@joshacollins84]

Where was that the last time I went to Lane? I'm finding my way to the basement every time now!

[@WillThat]

I could have used one of these last weekend down here in Louisiana.

[@chromedian9041]

The camera car looks cooler than this... Can you do something on that?

[@ArcticAutoWerks]

at 1:42 there is another amphibious car lol

[@BilgemasterBill]

Hey! There's an Amphicar at 1:42! Oh...They seem to be filming from it.

[@bushmonster9899]

Why would you activate the jets before you enter the water?

[@herbiehusker1889]

This really needs David Tracy and some amphibious Jeeps.

[@mxrv1n.]

Do you need a boat licence?

[@minibus1351]

from any experience in life, I've come to realise anything that promises to do 2 things, don't perform well in either aspect. cool novelty though.

[@curtismarean6963]

I remember the first time I saw an amphlicar, it was a hot day at school and I thought I had lost it, lol! My dad had the same reaction. His friends thought he had too much to drink.

[@sethbose723]

That car is hilariously awesome

[@bumpty9830]

Wondered for a minute whether you were test-driving in France (where the monster was born), then saw a "Gun Show" sign. What a country we live in.

[@scottdufferland]

aerial photography? AWESOME! drone?

[@Tyler3209]

I could see this if you lived at like the very bottom of Florida and wanted to drive to the islands and just keep driving.

[@dentistguba]

Or just if you live in Florida after recent events.

[@gonzalezgrant]

Good way to beat traffic

[@Ramonatho]

​@dentistguba keep it parked outside and swim to it from the top window! Keep it in the garage though...

[@brickman409]

I love the seats

[@connerdurocher192]

you live in nashville?

[@tomashomola272]

excuse me, how can we order such a machine? thanks !

[@ExGavalonnj]

now how would these do in salt water?

[@atranas6018]

i wanna know more about that classic camera car!!!

[@deanstalk8116]

I nearly creamed my jeans when I saw those Yuneec Typhoons filming this show.

[@nathanhalterman8350]

Where can I buy one

[@KentuckyRanger]

@ 8:34 Bless you!

[@carsonloman5153]

Omg little prince is a awesome book with the drinker and snake and flower

[@beckhanra]

Amphicar

[@00O000OO]

How would insurance handle a total loss on the water with no other vehicles involved?

[@MarcoPon]

Jason Drives a Sherp! Make it happen!

[@ham2617]

i live like 5 mins way from nashville shores i cant believed i missed you

[@JamesJones-xb8bx]

Does it have to be a "placid lake"?

[@baqcasanke]

James Jones that thing cant handle any waves so yea probably

[@driftkingzo6]

do a schwimmwagen next

[@tylercobb9140]

I live by percy priest where this was driven

[@maggieliu0204]

Just one thing this car is an easy getaway car from police

[@samanli-tw3id]

Until a police boat is on your tail

[@CaptPatrick01]

It reminds me of some of the stuff Rinspeed builds.

[@Renzsu]

try a Rinspeed...

[@troubledseed]

See how long that lasts in Canada in january

[@voiceofreason1663]

how does this perform on the sea? I think it cannot

[@CrazyThePeople]

So is he based in Nashville or was he visiting here to drive this?

[@DaBrute]

7:29 That launch tho

[@cartmanrlsusall]

It doesn't seem to have driving issues like the old simka amphibians

[@amitfahim4268]

This can hav some design problem. That cause more slower in water.. in water design more effective thn horse power

[@moravianlion3108]

Who else want to see this on Regular Car Reviews??

[@tomashomola272]

how much does such a car cost?

[@dinomaulana842]

The rear lamp is like silvia

[@tonysmith2360]

When the wheels are tucked up into the body steering will make them hit the body. You are driving it in that mode out of the water, wtf. Or they go up further than you took them.

[@rollingstopp]

cool for cruising the marina's. n stuff. just awesome amphib . don't need the worlds best just something that's reliable

[@carlosleon8026]

1:43 another water I see?? Upcoming one ☝️?

[@stupidburp]

I want an amphibious van.

[@orsonjarrett]

The Amphicar is cooler, though. Maybe because I just like classic cars.

[@CannibalSoggoth]

that momment when the camera car is cooler than the main car

[@sulaimankaka8423]

what that car looks soo cool

[@MrApriliaForever]

rear headlight : alfa Romeo 164

[@drakeforce8937]

so where's the cliff and when can you push it off 😐🙌

[@kenanfurcle786]

You left the french plates on it lol

[@threelui3062]

You know what else was crammed? The license plate.

[@supersimon126]

From the front at distance it kinda reminds me of a VW Caravelle 1997 0:53 hope you can see what i mean

[@bliglum]

That's pretty sad that the Amphicar blows this thing away on the water.. Seeing as how it has retractable wheels, more modern and powerful engine, and jet propulsion.. AND cost a fortune.... Sad..

[@JayHegwood]

bliglum he didnt tuck the wheels

[@bliglum]

Jay Hegwood He didn't? Well, that would at least partially explain it.

[@JayHegwood]

bliglum yeah and the car sucks ass

[@Alystas]

The car i use at my job have the same engine. A basic Peugeot 1.9 diesel unit, Bulletproof but not very intresting :/

[@65mustangfan4]

"Every weird thing" But does it have 4 wheel steering?

[@Swisconaaaaa]

do the gibbs aquada

[@bramv7611]

why do i know this exactly car in red?

[@thereedbreed]

1:42 Real Amphicar

[@thatguy6214]

put some awesome off-road tires on there put bigger air bags and swap the engine that's all it needs

[@laserhawk64]

Funny, I'd _still_ rather have the Amphicar lol

[@juanaranda9265]

I Need one here in Houston tx!

[@mountainanderson5597]

amphicar next to him at 1:43

[@seanyoutub2010]

haha a your in Nashville I'm in Nashville, ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!😃😃😃
