Rinspeed's first underwater Car
 |
||
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.

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.
