Once the designer Vitaly Ivanov from Tolyatti has created body kits for cars Lada. But somehow he had a more serious idea: he decided to develop a floating car. Subsequently, Vitaly registered company Yagalet, and to date has completed the first stage of designing a car with the same name — "Aglet".

The model with the intriguing title is a Roadster (although rendering it more reminiscent of a coupé with removable hard top). At first glance it is no different from existing models of the same class, but his sleeve hid a trump card. "Aglet" is not only a car but a hovercraft. To activate only need to press the button in the cabin. For a few moments, the vehicle is lifted above the ground a few inches.

In this position, the vehicle is ready to overcome the broken roads, and curbs, and water obstacles. To control the unusual hybrid will require not only a driver's license, but also the right to control the small boat.

While specifications "Aglet" is kept secret. It is reported that the body made of composite materials, and the movement of the Roadster hovercraft powered by an electric motor. The current detailed design layout and structural study of an unusual machine.

In the future, Vitaly Ivanov plans to not only go to mass production "Aglet", but also to expand the range to other vehicles, including SUVs and minivans.
