We already have both - see the references. Vehicles for two different modes of travel usually manage to combine the disadvantages of both. The best combo I know of is the WWII DUKW which can handle loads as well as any single purpose vehicle in water, surf, offroad, or pavement, so long as you don't need fast.

Well, there are already cars which can fly, and maybe some that can "sail" on water, and maybe one that can do both.... Honestly, if you want this invention, go and invent it....

sailing was not an invention. you can't make a car fly as easy as you can float.

science and technology have been developed day by day
in later days
not only cars but many more transportational
vehicles wold fly like aeroplanes and rockets
they sail on water like ships

my pops was telling me about one of his college buddies who turned a VW bug into an airplane. he said he folded up the wings and tail then stuck it in the back. I also know that there are amphibious cars (land/water). So to answer your question, no I haven't heard of any, but if someone wanted to I think they could do it

Technologically it should be possible even today. perhaps it has not been felt that essential to do so considering the costs involved and no market.
Even the hovercraft that travels both water and land has a limited market.

I do not see why not. When you have a system which is based on various forces, (magnetic, electrical, gravitational) it could be theoretically possible, Power supply I think is the biggest hurdle.

Why not? Ultimately both the design are based on buoyancy force and alternate design may be possible?

We already have cars that goes on water as well as on land... (Japanese)... well, fly.. may be... no one knows for sure.
