Rinspeed's concept car, sQuba, is set to make its debut at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show (March 6th thru 16th, 2008). The car is similar to past concepts from Rinspeed in that it also operates in water but, this time, it will be motoring under the surface - acting like a submarine. The sQuba will have two propellers and dual jet drives, thrusting it through water up to 10 meters deep.
Implications - So be prepared to make super spies jealous as you drive through water the way James Bond would, only he's living in a fictional reality and you've got this stunning cruiser in real life.
