Lotus convertible goes underwater
Rinspeed has resurrected the Lotus submarine-car from the James Bond movie The Spy Who Loved Me, but this time it’s real.
Dubbed the sQuba, this transformed Lotus Elise can go straight from land to water. Of course, the car is not sealed so you have to wear a scuba mask attached to the car’s integrated compressed air tank when underwater.
As if being a submarine wasn’t enough, the sQuba is also a zero-emissions vehicle. While on land, the car is completely powered by rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries.
Looks like Rinspeed has way too much time on their hands. Really cool video here, and a gallery after the jump.
