A Swiss company says it has invented the worlds first underwater car - and its a convertible.
The Rinspeed sQuba concept car was inspired by James Bonds The Spy Who Loved Me.
sQuba, 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 todays world, he says.
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.
