The hovercraft concept is not a new one, having floated drivers across land, sand and water since the 1950s. But 70 years on, now petrol heads finally have a reason to celebrate the vehicle, because what has been billed as the world's first ever luxury sports hovercraft is set to go on sale for $100,000 (£73,400). It may not be as quick as a supercar, with a top speed of around 60mph and 120 miles of range at 40 mph, but it's the fastest amphibious vehicle yet. And unlike a Ferrari, McLaren or Bugatti, this exciting new roadster travels on a cushion of air seven inches off the ground, allowing drivers to whizz across water and giving new meaning to the term off-road vehicle. Designed by the firm Von Mercier, which is named after British engineer and founder Michael Mercier, the Arosa is said to'blend cutting-edge hovercraft and electric vehicle innovation'.
