steve2006 2,107 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Just surfing (pun intended” and came across this article, apparently Toyota took the engine, marinated it and stuck it in a speed boat. They also stuck one in an aeroplane and flew it. Very clever these Japanese. https://www.hagerty.com/media/marine/toyotas-epic-powerboat-failure-didnt-help-its-reach-toward-the-skies/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malc 1,484 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 a sad tale methinks .......... Toyota couldn't have really wanted to achieve water and air supremacy coz if they had wanted to they surely would have achieved their goal ................... maybe too niche a market that volume would never really support eh !

Cotswold Pete 511 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I think I will not be trading up from Sunseeker Manhattan (the one I dream about now and again). Need to spend £20K getting new roof on the house, so maybe a rubber dingy for the summer instead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
