    The two-in-one Gibbs Quadski is equipped for both land and water, retracting its wheels when entering the latter, and deploying them when approaching the former; it can transition between the two modes in just four seconds, according to the vehicle's website.

    Powered by BMW's Motorrad K1300 engine, the Quadski can reach speeds of up to 45 mph -- great for 007's high-speed car or boat chases.
