Captain of the sQuba

[Wizzo]

Fancy being Captain Nemo? Well, Rinspeed has actually made car called the sQuba and all one needs to do is push a button, you are good for up to 33 feet, underwater! It doesn’t look like it folds up like that one from that seventies James Bond flick.

So, how does this work? Do you just drive your car into the water and there you go? Hopefully there is some automatic lock so you don’t roll the window down as you’re underwater.

There is an electric motor along with propulsion in the rear that putter you along as you’re going underwater. Just in case you are wondering, there are carbon nano tubes that help to provide for a self-contained breathing system. It’s either that or a 33 foot snorkel.

Anyway, you can see it at the Geneva Motor Show, which runs from March 6th to 16th. If they want to demonstrate it, you’re going to need a big fish tank.

Now the question you have to ask yourself is why?

The question you have to ask yourself is why doesn't it have a roof?

Seems like a prettu obvious design flaw.  Maybe they sub-contracted the design to the Reanult F1 team and they didn't remember to fit one.

Now I know how they do it without a roof! This is old, 60's techno! See pix below.

Anyone besides Dare and I old enough to remember this?
