Hi friends, Swiss company has invented the world's first underwater car, oops!!! is this a dream? I think you might have watched the film "The Spy Who Loved Me" (1977), in that film James Bond's white Lotus Esprit will plunge into the sea, but thirty one years later the underwater car has been made a reality, with the unveiling of a fully-working version of the amphibious 007 icon. With a one touch button the car will transform into an amphibious car. The zero emission sQuba is built as an open-topped concept car for safety reasons, that can go over land, above the waves and even under water to a depth of 30 metres. The two seater sQuba has three electric motors, out of this one is used to power the rear wheels and the other two is for the specially designed propellers. sQuba's speed on land is 75mph, a sedate 4mph while cruising in "boat" mode and a positively tranquil 2mph under water. sQuba consist of an integrated tank of compressed air, which is used to supply oxygen to the occupants while the car is underwater and it has salt water resistant interior. The vehicle can stay under water for a maximum of 2 hours. The cost of the car is about £745,000 (Rs. 5.75 crore).
