If u can dream, you can do it! Rinspeed, a Swiss based company is turning to the water for its latest concept; although this time they will be heading below the surface instead of skimming above it. Set to debut at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show, the ‘sQuba’ concept is the world’s first diving car with zero emission power, according to the company, and can be submerged up to 10 meters or 33 feet below the surface.

The new concept is described as the world’s first real car with the capabilities to not only drive on land but also dive underwater with the use of two propellers in the stern and two powerful jet drives in the bow which propel the vehicle (On land, the sQuba is powered by an electric motor that sends its power to the rear wheels. Once in the water, propulsion is provided by two propellers and a pair of jet drives).

The sQuba has a lightweight body and futuristic Carbon Nano Tubes which enclose the driver and passenger and fresh breathing air is supplied by an on-board system.
