sQuba, The James Bond-inspired Underwater Car
Tuesday, February 19, 2008
Designed by Swiss designer Rinspeed Inc., sQuba is a James Bond-inspired underwater car. It can reach at 77 mph on the road, 3 mph surface of the water, and 1.8 mph underwater.
LinkThe concept car -- which unlike Bond's is not armed -- was developed by Swiss designer Rinspeed Inc. and is set to make a splash at the Geneva Auto Show next month.
Company CEO Frank Rinderknecht, a self-professed Bond fan, said he has been waiting 30 years to recreate the car he saw Roger Moore use to drive off of a dock.
The sQuba can plow through the water at a depth of 30 feet and has electrical motors to turn the underwater screw.
