Thread: World's First Swimming Car [ua_ad]

  1. #1



    sQuba is the world's first real submersible car that can 'move like a fish underwater'.
    It can dive up to 32.8 feet (10 mt) below the surface of the water and can move at a sedate 1.8 miles per hour.

    The sQuba has an open cockpit for 'safety reasons' (so that people can get out easily anytime in case of an emergency). The occupants of the car have to breathe compressed air through built-in scuba masks.
