Samba

Auction prices for the Volkswagen Samba van have skyrocketed this year. In January, a 21-window model sold for $302,500 and in April a 23-window model sold for $291,500. Now several near perfect Sambas are heading for auction at Monterey Car Week, and more records could go.

The Green Samba is set to become the Personal Water Craft V 3.0 – it will do the same 65 mph as a 260 bhp sit-down, doesn't emit any noxious gases, makes no noise at all, has agility far better than a stand-up PWC, and runs for three hours plus.

Ellion's LazBox 110 packs best-in-class functionality into a small form factor at a mass market price.

The Samba PWC looks like a stingray and is ridden in a motorcycle-like crouch. Weighing just 200 pound, an 80 bhp motor gives it performance to match the fastest 250 bhp sit-downs, plus extreme agility, control and acrobatic capabilities
