It's real car, I saw it on TV.

As I remember it's called RinSpeed or ReenSpeed (don't remember spelling).
It has small turbo engine about 1L that is working on gas (not gasolin).

This car can run and swim. Top speed on water is about 60 mph.

thats cool, wonder why they used natural gas over gasoline? thats weird. I do remember reading an article about new cars using natural gas in the future. sounds pretty cool to me plus you could just fill up at your house. almost everyone has natural gas running their heater, hot water tank already.

by using natural gas they made car with less polutions and cheaper fuel.

BTW that car is very light and accelerates 0-60 mph for about 6 sec.
