Two-Seater Robo-Dolphin


As if the dolphins didn't have enough trouble, now you're going to try mating with this 175-horsepower robotic dolphin that seats two. At 16-feet long, the 2-Seater Dolphin contains a marine engine and a Hurth transmission for underwater and surface travel.

Apparently the creaters, Rob Innes and Dan Piazza, have made a few of these things already but this is the first passenger-ready model. Their first dolphin, the Sweet Virgin Angel (it's actually hard to tell if a dolphin, even a robo-dolphin, is a virgin or not, but these guys pulled it off), can travel at up to 30mph on the surface and 20mph under water.
