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.

What would be the commercial use for this, your cloths would get all wet so you really couldn't arrive anywhere in style.

I think they forgot to put a roof on it....

hmm it drives by itself, bad idea. Unless you like getting your car jacked?

Well if you wanted to commit suicide it would probably be more economical to just buy a normal car and drive it off a bridge. You wierd fucko.

I also own half of Microsoft - we should get together some time and talk about ways in which we can bring dinosaurs back to life.

No, it would be stupid to put a Roof:Because if it had a roof it would have to weight over 2 tonns in order to be heavy enouth to sink the looked in air.We are Swiss, we build economic cars. :D
