Volkswagen Aqua Hovercraft Concept by Yuhan Zhang

Although stellar hovercraft concepts are a dime a dozen, it’s rare to come across one that is both a joy to look at and practical. Twenty-one-year old Chinese industrial designer Yuhan Zhang, however, took matters into his own hands and developed a concept based on current Volkswagen designs.

Featuring an engine powered by a hydrogen fuel cell and rear fans that control the thrust, Zhang’s concept imagines a steering system running on individual electric motors. This design in particular was conceived to cover all of China’s diverse landscape from roads and rivers to snow and sand.

Yes, this is exactly what the world needs right now! Cool concept though.
