Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is thrilled to present this super rare hard to find 2008 CAMI Hydra Spyder for sale in our St. Louis showroom.
Everyone has seen the first amphibious car known as the Amphicar Model 770 which is capable of going on land and water but only at modest speeds. This amphibious car however breaks all those rules! This bad boy is powered by an LS3 that is producing 450hp and it's mated to a 5-speed manual transmission which makes this beast a lot of fun! The builders have said the Hydra Spyder has been tested at land speeds over 125mph and 46 knots on the water all while caring four passengers. Don't let the massive size fool you because it only weighs 3,300 lbs and the lower hull is constructed using 5052 alloy aluminum. The upper body is constructed of light weight fiberglass which allows for increased speed and performance. On land the car lifts the body up creating enough clearance for you to drive and once it hits the water the wheels tuck up in the wheel wells creating a smooth bottom. This ride is for the person that wants to be noticed! You will probably never see another one in person again that's for sure.
