Motorcycle manufacturer switched to a new sphere of activity.
Yamaha after a couple of years can produce a new kind of vehicle – car-amphibian.
And very original. This is evidenced by the recently registered a patent in the Japanese patent office, according to the portal center.
The whole point of the invention is to make a vehicle amphibious with a maximum narrow body. This was developed for the innovative system of folding wheels. The latter are removed in a special niche, which closed hatches.
Thus, the wheels do not protrude outside the housing and do not interfere in water.
However, without it the car is clearly not enough, if the project decides to bring to the running sample, fast moving on both land and water.
