2012 Sea Lion Prototype Amphibious World Record Competition Vehicle

There is a wide spectrum of different vehicles competing. Some vehicles are very fast on land but slow on water and others are the reverse. Some of the more unusual designs use tank tracks and have had surprisingly fast results on both water and land with the propulsion being only the tracks.
Sea Lion is currently configured to be World’s Fastest Amphibious land speed vehicle. The transaxle is geared for speeds in the 180 mph range. The car has an extremely small frontal area and very aerodynamic shape. It has great potential to hold the land record for many years to come.
The water speed is currently limited by horse power, and it is up to the next owner, as to how extreme the next power plant should be. The current engine is a Mazda Rotary 13b (1974 –smog exempt). The engine should be upgraded to a Renesis Rx8 unit, and the old engine saved for an SB100 registration, at some later date, if that becomes a goal for the owner.
