​​Nuoto is Italian for swimming, and it won't take long to grasp the very unusual aspects of this Lamborghini Countach.

Spotted by supercar enthusiast Shane Galea, this totally customized amphibious vehicle was actually road registered and driving on the roads in the UK up until around 15 years ago, where it was put in to storage.

Originally built by SeaRoader Amphibious Vehicles (known for their work on Top Gear UK), this capable swimmer is fitted with twin propellers, dual rudders, and a front hydrofoil, giving it the capability to cut though water with relative ease.

This truly unique and individual Lamborghini is unlike any other in the world, perfect for the want-to-be James Bond. The images certainly did make us look twice, and at the same time reminding us of a certain world-famous incident with a Bugatti Veyron... Or perhaps a famous scene from Hollywood movie "Cannonball Run Fever"

From a very young age, Aaron was drawn to cars. Spotting chrome bumpered classics from the back seat of a 1978 Toyota Corolla as a child, his knowledge grew from basic brands and models to more details and specifications as a teen. He began buying and collecting magazines, reading them cover to cover absorbing as much information as possible. Primarily following local motor racing – and the cars they were built from, Aaron would watch the Bathurst 1000 coverage each year from start to finish. With a broad passion for all classic cars, his specialty is locally built and assembled muscle cars, whilst keeping an eye on the oddballs. Hunting for old cars and the stories surrounding them is a lifelong obsession, often finding them in the most unusual places or via the most unusual people. Fast talking and quick thinking, he’s always on the go. If you want to chat - you're going to have to try and keep up with him!
