sQuba
sQuba

sQuba diving concept  makes the aqua car James Bond had in The Spy Who Loved Me  into reality.  Rinspeed  concept designed to dive to depths of up to 33 feet (10 meters) using two propellers in the stern and two jet drives in the bow.

To be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March, 2008, the rear-wheel drive sQuba is powered by an electric motor putting out 37 kW at 4,500 /min with torque of 160 NM at 1,500 /min according to the the specs released to date by Rinspeed. The rear jet drives for underwater cruising rely on two seperate 3.6 kW Rotinor  electric engines and the body panels of the 920kg two-seater are made from carbon nano tubes with a steel chassis underneath.

I wonder if sQuba is destined to remain as a unique one-off concept vehicle or there is a chance to drive (or dive) one of those babies one day.
