We can pollute the land and the sea, with the new: sQuba

Posted in cars

Looks like Lotus, but it’s the Rinspeed’s first underwater car: sQuba

Rinspeed will present its new sQuba at the Geneva Motor Show, the first underwater car (can be submerged in water up to 10 meters).

It’s called the “sQuba,” and it’t like a real Lotus Esprit from The Spy Who Loved Me, of James Bond’s, but not that fictional (is not armed).

Speed on land - 120 km/h (75 mph), but it slows down to 6 km/h (3.2 kn/3.7 mph) on the surface of the water and 3 km/h (1.6 kn/1.9 mph) underwater.

But it doesn’t fly in the air over rush hour traffic!
