Ananova.com.- The Rinspeed sQuba concept car was inspired by James Bond’s The Spy Who Loved Me.

Similar to 007’s Lotus Esprit, the sQuba is a road-worthy vehicle that, at the touch of a button, can transform into an amphibious vehicle capable of diving to a depth of about 33 feet.

Rinspeed boss Frank M. Rinderknecht admitted it was Bond who gave him the idea for the car.

«And exactly thirty years later this becomes reality in today’s world», he says, describing the sQuba as «the worlds first real diving car with zero emission power».

The one-off concept car is not for sale, but it cost around £750,000 to build.

Propulsion on the water is by two propellers in the stern while two powerful jet drives in the bow propel the vehicle while diving underwater.

The lightweight body is made of futuristic «carbon nano tubes» and the driver is supplied with air by a self-contained on-board system.

The sQuba goes on show for the first time at next month’s motor show in Geneva.
