Grab your Martini (shaken, not stirred of course) and rejoice -- the Aquada is here!

The slick new sports car doubles as a speed boat, as was demonstrated yesterday when it went from the banks of the Thames River in Great Britain, to actually cruising the river itself.

Like something out of a James Bond movie, the wheels retract and the jets send propel you across the water at about 30 MPH (not sure what that is in knots).

No word yet if the $235,000 vehicle comes equipped with a bevel of uniquely-named beauties. Octapussy anyone?
