SQUBA DIVING WITH YOUR CAR
sQuba, developed by the Swiss designer Rinspeed Inc., will be revealed at the Geneva Auto Show next month and will be the world’s first submersible car. If I may suggest, do not use the submersible option when your wife send you to buy some bread bread ;-)
Rinspeed boss Frank M. Rinderknecht, known for his extraordinary automotive creations, is also a James Bond fan and kept revisiting in his mind, the scene from the 1977 Bond movie "The Spy Who Loved Me"."For three decades I have tried to imagine how it might be possible to build a car that can fly under water. Now we have made this dream come true.", Rinderknecht said. The car, which is stable at a depth of 10 meters, has zero emissions, is driven by three electric motors, and powered by rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries.
The car has an integrated tank of compressed air, much as the ones used in scuba diving, which will allow passengers to breathe while underwater.
