"This is the first diving car," says Frank Rinderknecht, Rinspeed's CEO, as reported by The Star Banner yesterday (14 / 2). Revolutionary concept car called the sQuba that have been tested and will be on display at the Geneva Motor Show, Switzerland, next March.
Car two-seater with an open cabin that can go on land, swim, and dive to a depth of 10 meters. When in the water, the rider could not breathe from the air tubes, similar to that used divers.
Rinspeed modifying a sports sedan by replacing some of the engines with electric motors. To be strong moving in the water, the engine there are three, placed in the back. Which one is used when the vehicle drove on the mainland, two more to push when sQuba in the water.
Another advantage, the sQuba car was claimed pro-environmental, because the zero carbon emissions. The cabin is also resistant to the corrosive salt water.
Rinderknecht himself is a rabid fan of James Bon. The scene with the car James Bond Lotus Esprit dive in the film in 1977 was so obsessed. Bond-style submarine car is indeed just a movie trick. When his obsession realized, Rinderknecht feel very proud.
"For three decades I imagine if it was possible to build a car that could run under water. We now make that a reality, "said 52-year-old entrepreneur.
He admits it is very difficult to realize the car's dive. Therefore, the car must be completely watertight. In addition it should be able to cope with the huge water pressure, which makes the car difficult to move freely. "The real challenge is how to make cars under the water can be nimble like fish," he told the Press Association.
Although the submarine was believed to be safe cars, safety in emergencies still counted. Therefore, the sQuba is made with an open cabin so the driver can easily exit in an emergency. "With an enclosed cabin, opening car doors (in water) is not possible," said Rinderknecht.
Bond-style submarine car was already a reality. The difference with diving Bond car, the sQuba can not dive very deep; also not equipped with torpedoes and missiles from the surface into the air, and not to drive into the beautiful Russian spy, Barbara Bach.
Although the car has come true dive, the next dreams remain challenging. Namely, how a car can go on land, on the surface and in water, and flew into the air.
