Rinspeed's first underwater Car

Your video is loading please wait 5 seconds

Author: AutomotiveTv
Description: Rinspeed will present its new sQuba, the worlds first diving car, at the Geneva Motor Show (March 6-16). The car is not only able to drive on roads autonomously with a push of a button (thus without a driver, passenger or further assistance), but can also transform into an amphibious vehicle which can be submerged in water up to 10 meters (33 feet). An electric motor with powerful torque drives the rear wheels, while the propulsion on the water is ensured by two propellers in the stern and two powerful jet drives in the bow propelling the vehicle under water while diving. When underwater, the driver and passenger are enclosed in the vehicle thanks to light weight body components made of futuristic Carbon Nano Tubes and are supplied with fresh breathing air by the self-contained on-board system.

underwater drag race anyone?

now youll never have to think about washing yoiur car ever again!!

Most car companies will give you bumper to bumper coverage. If it was bumper to bumper, it would (although it never truly does) cover everything, and in my mind, salt water is under the designation of everything.

yes but you still get wet because the top stays open and you just get a pipe to breath so basacly you are scubadiving whilst sitting in a car

The information provided on the side panel under the user's name states that the vehicle will "when underwater, the driver and passenger are enclosed in the vehicle thanks to light weight body components made of futuristic Carbon Nano Tubes and are supplied with fresh breathing air by the self-contained on-board system." So, you won't have to wear a scuba suit or anything like that.

Who in their right mind would take a car (even if it is an underwater car) underwater with the top down?!?!?! Nice Lotus Elise tho...

I thought that was a little strange too. That would be inconvenient to have to wear a SCUBA mask and (optional) wet suit or swimming suit when you drove it. But what type of people would need to drive in the water anyway. It is cool, though.

thats stupid why deos it have to have an open top it should be sealed like a submarine

so much for that nice tux.

ahh:D shit..fake:D

more like gpm....(Gallons per Mile)

the only thing im impressed with is how they got it to stay bouyant underwater but other then that i think it is a dumb idea

i'll give you 4 bucks for that car

Hope the sharks doesnt see this or u just find dead bodies submerged on the sea someday

well i think it would make it harder to dive since there would be air left in it and you would have to isolate everything sothat no water could get in...

that was a Lotus-Elise right?

Don't be rediculous! That would make sense! lol

looks like a lotus

y y y y why

in not an expert on this but wouldt it be better to put a roof on the car so your clothes stay dry and not soaked so you dont get a cold by driving with 80 miles per hour?

mpg???? :)

i dont get it whats the point?

dang bikes they even bother you underwater.. :(

Another costly toy for the Hugh Hefners of the world.

I don't get it.
