The Chevrolet Corvette has a long and rich automotive history — and is one of the most beloved sports cars of all time. Many might realize that the Corvette was named after the corvette warship, a fast naval boat. Now, the Corvette comes full circle with this crazy C7 Corvette jet car boat in Florida, which was recently chased by the water police in Florida.
C7 Corvette: Is it a car, a boat, or a jet ski?

Those that journey to the Miami area might come across a peculiar sight: a C7 Chevy Corvette that floats on water. This unusual vehicle is the brainchild of JetCar, a company that makes boats that resemble exotic cars. Lately, the Corvette jet car boat has been getting a great deal of attention, especially after an owner published a YouTube video showing how he got pulled over by the water police in Florida.
JetCar designed the C7 Corvette jet car boat to look like the iconic American sports car. While the company doesn’t outright say so, the C7 Corvette jet car boat is fairly close to being a jet ski, as detailed by Motor1. Underneath the Corvette-shaped body, there’s a 4-cylinder, 4-stroke, 1.8-liter High Output Yamaha Marine Engine. This enables the boat to reach a top speed of 65 mph.
In case you were wondering, the C7 Corvette boat isn’t amphibious. It has the body of a Corvette sports car, but it can only operate on water.
