Are you in the market for a new car? A Swiss company this week announced that it has a $1.5 million concept car -- sQuba -- that can drive on road and under water, just like James Bond's slick ride from "The Spy Who Loved Me." Life preservers are not included.

Now the car looks really cool and it's invention is incredible but let's be real cars break down all the time. What happens if your car breaks down underwater??? Then you just lost 1.5 million dollars in a car that is under the river because it broke down on you.......
Thats a really good question they will just have to make an underwater towtruck wont they :)
What type of mechanic would be able to fix such a car? You would have to take it to the maker of the car if somethin happened.
nanana nanana nanana, na na (james bond tune)
i dont know why anyone would want a car that drives underwater, but i guess thats cool that they can make stuff like that.
BOOYAKASHA!
It is said that the selling price will around US$400,000 but not 1.5 million -
who knows but i think that would be an awesome car. just bring a torpeado launcher with u
;)
Bring a torpeado launcher with u .. yeah.
a fishing rod too :/
a cool car but why do you need it ???????
why not get a lambo and a 400.000 thousand dollar trunck that you dont drive and keep in your garage all the time it makes no sense its like this car you'll probably never drive it under water with the fear of it breaking down and you get traped underwater. besides i heard it only goes like 7 feet under water and is a gas guzzler what happens if you run out of gas in the middle of the ocean
It works with battery not gas it's friendly to the environment it uses electric power
I bet that's how an employee of the coal-plant that supplies the electricity would describe it...friendly to the environment. Good one!
i think this car is realy cool like it the next step up in the world of cars like they already made a flying car now a car that goes under water i think that that is realy neat
i think the cars coolbut way to expensive i wis h my parents would get one that would be awesome but the problem is that YOU gotta by the scuba diving stuff.
this car rocks but its so expensive
if it was 150/130 thousand us$
i would buy it.it is kinda useless cuz
u wont be always drivin it underwater
it looks like the opel speedster
its dangerous too cuz if a shark or
octopus cums then ur dead :\ too bad
and if u run out of gas its a triple threat
and it is said it cums with all the scuba
diving items.
its dangerous if u break down underwater!!!!!!!!!
its a great technology
but who in the world will fix it if it breaks down
if it dies ur money is a total waste!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it runs on batteries not gas
i think its awesome! WAY too expensive though!!! if the people selling them are looking for suggestions: lower the price
its a cool car i'll defo buy 1. :)
I think that the S-quba car is very good cuz it allows new kind of interesting and in some cases faster transportation.
It can go down to 10m deep, 6km/h on water, 3km/h under. It works only on battery.
It probably has some GPS device in it, if in case it brakes down it can be found and pulled out. Probably not good to use it in the river or such.
Price is way to high, 1,5M$, you start thinking of Bugatti or whatever but production does not look very expencive, like some Lotus car with intermotor + few turbines.
Basic model should not be more than 90.000€ up to more exclusive model - 200.000€.
Just imagine the joy under or it may present new more interesting way of public transportation.
it would be cool if the 2012 movie will come to life....... who knows....... maybe thats why they built it cause they think that the world will drown.......
