  • Swimming Cars?

    If you’re looking for driving fun and want to trade in your Bridgestone tires, a convertible is one way to fill that desire. But how much more fun could you have if not only were that car a convertible but a water-friendly vehicle? By water-friendly, I mean a vehicle that could ride on water like a boat or swim underwater like a fish. sQuba

    The sQuba, Rinspeed’s newest concept cars, has all of these features. First, it is a sleek looking convertible that seats two. Second, when you drive into the water, the vehicle floats. Finally, if you allow a little water to enter the vehicle, it submerses and “swims” through the water. Quite a lot to offer from one little car, and no tuning car needed.

    However, there are more cool features to this vehicle. It is a zero-emission vehicle, being powered solely by batteries. Also, when “swimming” underwater, the car stays in its convertible form and the passenger uses underwater breathing apparatus.

    To learn more about the sQuba, you can either attend the Geneva Motor Show (from March 6 – 12) or read about it at Rinspeed’s Website.
