Gibbs Aquada - Por terra ou pelo mar
2007-07-04 21:08:00 Gibbs Aquada é o primeiro carro anfíbio que sai das pranchetas e vai para o mercadoTodos nós já ouvimos grandes histórias e muitas fotografias de carros anfíbios.

The first Amphibian car, as what they call it, was made in the 60’s by a German car maker. It was a big hit when it was revealed but after sometimes it was gone. And it’s been long years since the last amphibian car was seen. In the Millenum, car makers are opting to make a car that does not only count because of the way it looks but because of the versatility of the vehicle as well. Then the Gibbs Aquada was unveiled in 2003.
