Land-Locked Swiss Invent Underwater Car

GENEVA -- A Swiss design company has invented a car that runs on land and underwater, according to the Associated Press.

It's called the "sQuba," and conjures up memories of James Bond's amphibious Lotus Esprit from "The Spy Who Loved Me."

The concept car - which unlike Bond's is not armed - was developed by Swiss designer Rinspeed Inc. and is set to make a splash at the Geneva Auto Show next month.

The sQuba can plow through the water at a depth of 30 feet and has electrical motors to turn the underwater screw. For safety reasons, car has an open top, meaning that the two passengers have to wear wetsuits
