The Daily Mail reports that the Volkswagen Aqua car is designed to run on “tarmac, sand, ice… and even water:”

It features a shiny, sleek design with four fans and integrated airbags that inflate to make it hover.
And it’s also environmentally-friendly as its two motors are powered by a hydrogen fuel cell — with zero carbon emissions.
One of the motors inflates a “skirt” around the vehicle to lift it off the ground, while the other drives it forward and controls direction.
