It sounds like a “greatest Irish invention” joke, but it’s true. A Swiss company has invented an underwater car – and it’s a convertible. Costing around £750,000 to build, the Rinspeed sQuba concept car was inspired by James Bond’s The Spy Who Loved Me. The sQuba is a road-worthy car that, at the touch of a button, can transform into an amphibious vehicle. It is capable of diving to a depth of about 33 feet. When on the water, it is propelled by two propellers, while two powerful jets propel the vehicle underwater.

Does it have air-conditioning?
1:
Yes. It comes with AC260 —
2 windows, 60 mph 🙂
Have you seen the price tag? 1 million euros (approx 1.4 million USD)!!!
Also, it’s based on the Lotus Elise, not the Esprit as the original Bond car. But that’s just nitpicking! Have a look at the maker’s site, and look under Concept Cars. Lots more photos and videos. From what I saw in their site, they really love their creations!
SLOW….
33feet??
I know POT holes bigger then that.
Question is who do you call when your stuck underwarer: AAA or the Coast Guard?
All my eyes read were “roadworthy car” “with 2 powerful jets” can i place my order please?
Glad to see we’ve cured cancer and AIDS and now can spend money on something practical.
Oh if only Teddy boy was driving this…..
#7 – Yeah right. Nobody on Earth is allowed to have fun until every single problem has been solved first.
What a waste.
Another idiot thing that will show up on a late night talk show as the CAR OF THE FUTURE some 30 years from now and everyone will laugh at how STUPID it was and how goofy the people looked inside it.
Moronic garbage!
Cursor_
1,000,000 eurodoubledollars for that thing, and no smegging sealed cabin!? WTF
I’d be more impressed if it could keep you dry while you cruised underwater.
#7, Sorry to tell you, but as long as DNA mutates, cancer will never be cured.
How many women would allow their hair to get wet like that?
It’s the PERFECT car for St. Louis!
I’ve lived around St.Louis so..why is it perfect ?
Neat way of saying money get’s you nothing useful but might get you something fun.
… thats one way of cleaning the car …
