ULTIMATE TOY

In the Bond film, The Spy Who Loved Me, James Bond drives a Lotus Esprit S1. When submerged, it morphed into a submarine type vehicle allowing the spy to drive under water. Rinspeed has developed a similar car based on a Lotus Elise, called the sQuba.

The sQuba is unique on several levels. It can drive itself, complete with a radar scanning system on the front of the car that keeps it within lines and stops if an obstacle obstructs it's path. It's a 100% zero emissions automobile using rechargeable Lithium batteries. And, it can fly underwater. Too cool.

The sQuba has built in scuba gear. When the car is in the water, you put the scuba gear over your face and mouth, then take her down for an amazing underwater ride.

Imagine driving your car underwater one weekend. Getting into a little fender bender. Calling your insurance carrier or going into the body repair shop and explaining, "Well I hit a shark...it just came out of nowhere".
