The World’s First Underwater Car 

In 2008, the Swiss company Rinspeed created ‘sQuba’, the world’s first underwater car. The design of this peculiar vehicle is reminiscent of the British sports car Lotus Elise and is electrically powered by three rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. In addition, it has two twin propellers, two Seabob motors to facilitate maneuvering and an open roof that allows its occupants to get out in case of need, provided they are wearing diving equipment.

This model is driven directly into the water and, once there, floats until a hatch opens, flooding the body and causing the car to sink slowly. When submerged, it sails at a depth of ten meters.
