How many Amphicars were produced in total?

The Amphicar had a total production run of 3,878 vehicles.

Designed by Hans Trippel, the Amphicar Model 770 was built in West Germany by the Quandt Group at factories in Lübeck and Berlin-Borsigwalde. It combined a rear-mounted Triumph four-cylinder engine with ordinary rear-wheel drive and twin propellers beneath the rear bumper.

The car debuted at the 1961 New York Auto Show, although production began in late 1960 and ended in 1965. Its model number reflected its claimed performance: about 70 mph on land and 7 knots on water. Those figures were modest compared with conventional cars and boats, but the Amphicar was unusual because it was designed as a genuine road-and-water vehicle rather than a military machine or conversion.

A common mix-up is confusing its marketing years with its production years. Amphicars were sold or titled in some markets through 1968 from existing inventory, but only 3,878 were manufactured. Just 97 had right-hand drive, and most were sold in the United States.
