The world's fastest amphibious vehicle can go from car to boat in just 15 SECONDS

 You no longer need to be a spy like James Bond to get your hands on an amphibious car. 

David March has designed the world's fastest Jeep-style vehicle that can be driven straight from the land into the water and goes from a car to a boat in just 15 seconds.

Called the Panther, the vehicle can reach water speeds of up to 45mph - almost as fast as an average speedboat - and is fitted with a custom-made 3.7 litre V6 engine, fibreglass hull and lightweight chromoly steel chassis. 

It needs to be travelling at around 15mph to enter the water and can then reach top speeds of almost 45mph. 

To drive the Panther in water, the driver must put the four-speed gear changer in neutral, pull a knob to switch the transfer case to 'jet drive', hydraulically lift the wheels and tyres out of the water, and start boating. 

This entire process takes less than 15 seconds.

The Panther sells for anywhere in between $100,000 and $200,000 and March told CBS that they've already pre-sold cars to princes in Dubai and many Silicon Valley workers.

The Rolling chassis is a kit and additional components can be bought off the shelf. 

The Turn-key minus version doesn't come with an engine.
