Scuba from the comfort of your car

It sounds like a “greatest Irish invention” joke, but it’s true. A Swiss company has invented an underwater car - and it’s a convertible. Costing around £750,000 to build, the Rinspeed sQuba concept car was inspired by James Bond’s The Spy Who Loved Me. The sQuba is a road-worthy car that, at the touch of a button, can transform into an amphibious vehicle. It is capable of diving to a depth of about 33 feet. When on the water, it is propelled by two propellers, while two powerful jets propel the vehicle underwater.
