With an Aquada sports car, Branson completes the 35-kilometer journey between Dover and Calais in just one hour, 40 minutes, and six seconds, slashing 4 1/2 hours off the previous record. The Aquada, capable of reaching speeds of over 160 kilometers per hour on land and 50 kilometers per hour on water, showcases its impressive capabilities as Branson emerges from the water in a dinner jacket, marking a historic achievement.\n
