Believe or not, a Submarine Car !

Rinspeed, a submarine Sports Car

 This is the only car that navigates underwater realms as easily as it cruises across land. Inspired by the submarine Lotus driven by James Bond, the car floats when driven into water and submerges with the pull of a lever, sending the sports car on an underwater adventure.

 

Rinspeed allow two people to remain underwater for an hour. Two water jets mounted behind rotating louvers at the front of the vehicle provide steering and lift and propellers at the rear provide forward movement up to 2 knots at depths down to 33'.

The zero-emission vehicle uses a 54 kW 160 NM electric motor powered by six 48-volt Lithium-ion batteries, allowing it to reach a maximum speed of 75 mph.

Two-person capacity car has the same steel chassis used in the Lotus Elise, its interior is impervious to fresh or salt water, and an on board laser-guided sensor enables the sports car to operate autonomously.

Batteries power the car for up to 80 miles on land and for 3 hours underwater after a 4 hours charge. Special conditions and guarantee limitations apply.
