China has a notorious flood problem that severely disrupts normal life in the course of the rainy months. The annual natural calamity apparently prompted JMC Amphibious Vehicle Development Co based in Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, to come up with an ingenious vehicle that can be used in the water as well as the land. Designed by the Amphibious Vehicle Design Studio, the JMC Amphibious Pickup can reach speeds of 100kmph on land and over 11 (nautical miles?) in water. the pickup boat seats 5 and can also carry a 350kg payload easily which is more than enough to carry an average family and their essential belongings to a safer place when the weather gods decide to cast their wrath on the mortals below.
With a 70 liter tank on board, the 4×4 is powered by a 4JB1 turbocharged engine with 90hp/4000 rpm output. The pickup also features 5-speed fully-synchroinzed transmission as well as power steering and is also fitted with an A.C., radio and tape recorder player (what no CD/DVD player), an electric lift antenna, an electric wing mirror, a power door and electric winch. GPS is strictly optional when you buy this sucker though we certainly recommend you get it installed since finding your way back/to a safe location in perilous times is definitely the priority over other leisure like say, listening to old George Michael hits!
