1994 Design Performance Barramunda

Barramunda was born out of love for the car and the sea. It helps to combine the joys of driving and sliding on the water's surface. Hence the original internal structure. Each of the two rear wheels is driven by a 100-horsepower BMW motorcycle engine (with its gearbox), which frees up space between the rear wheels for a jet ski and two surfers. At the same time, the power is quite enough for a sporty ride.


This vehicle "blends the passion of the automobile and the sea," according to French maker Design Performance. The company claims its 13.8-foot long "Barramunda" swallows a jet ski and two surfboards. The car is driven by two BMW 100-hp motorcycle engines, one per rear wheel, stowed inside the rear fenders to maximize interior space. The nautical theme spills over the interior, with a teak floorboard, brass fittings, and washable upholstery.
