Is it just me or Is that a Fiat 500 Racing over the Ocean?

2013 fiat 500 vans us surfing open

If you attended theĀ 2013 Vans U.S. Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach, California this week, you may have seen three Fiats floating and racing across the ocean. Ā Are these the latest amphibious vehicles from Fiat that you can purchase? Ā No. Turns out that Fiat specially prepared these three vehicles in support of the U.S. Open of Surfing and they are actually high powered wave runners (or PWCs) with realistic looking Fiat 500 bodies attached. Ā These Fiats can only run on water, but they look like they can simply drive out on the beach and cruise the streets.

Fiat says that they also have a water-going version of the 500L, and to stay tuned for that.
