Launch of sQuba..James Bond Style.
The Swiss have invented a car that runs on land and in water. Strangely, it is also a convertible?Good gift for those who enjoy underwater "adventure". VideoIt's called the "sQuba" and conjures up memories of James Bond's amphibious Lotus Esprit from the "Spy Who Loved Me." But "Q" isn't responsible for this one.
The concept car-which unlike Bond's it is not armed--was developed by Swiss designer Rinspeed Inc. and is set to make a splash at the Geneva Auto Show next month.
The company calls the sQuba the first real submersible car. Unlike military amphibious vehicles, which can only drive slowly on a lakebed, the sQuba travels like a submarine--either on the surface or submerged.
