sQuba, Rinspeed’s underwater concept car

Posted on 27 December 2007

The general ride-pimping expert Rinspeed is back with maybe their most ambitious project to date : an underwater concept car. The electric motor-powered concept is expected to be revelead next March at the Geneva Motor Show. This concept reminds us somewhat of the Gibbs Aquada and Hydra Spyder the only difference is that the sQuba is able to dive and navigate up to ten meters under the sea, thanks to jet drives in the bow and propellers in the stern. I think it’s a very interesting concept that could become reality sooner or later.

A self-contained, on-board system inside the carbon nanotube-based body structure provides occupants with fresh air while submerged, although the engineers probably let down more than a few folks by omitting a weapons system of any kind. As for the release date, we don’t know anything not even production plans. Let’s wait and see what the future has in stores.
