The Spy Who Loved Me

For most guys, our personification of the alpha male is James Bond. Drives the best cars, gets the best girls, and always unaffected even under the most intense of circumstances; James Bond is a good man to model yourself after.

Remember in 1977 when The Spy Who Loved Me where Bond took his Lotus Esprit underwater? I thought that was pretty cool. Well, it’s 2008 and the things we once thought was impossible are getting adapted to real life use. Swiss design company Rinspeed has used James Bond’s idea of an underwater Lotus Esprit and created the sQuba.

The submersible Elise is all-electric with three motors: one is used for driving on the land and the other two power a pair of screw drives that allows it to move underwater. The vehicle’s maneuvers by two Seabob jet drives.

And for the cool cats, the car is a convertible! “What’s the point,” you might be asking yourself? Well Rinspeed didn’t do a closed cockpit because in case of an emergency, the driver might not be able to get out of a closed cockpit car. Also, the car being a convertible helps with the buoyancy. The vehicle’s interior is salt-water resistant as well as having high-friction diamond abrasive materials which keeps you in your seat.

Get your Brioni suits tailored and pick up the sQuba and get ready for the women to flock.
