The Submarine Sports Car
- Description
This
is the only car that navigates underwater realms as easily as it
cruises across land. Inspired by the submarine Lotus driven by James
Bond in The Spy Who Loved Me, the car floats when driven into water and
submerges with the pull of a lever, sending the sports car on an
underwater adventure. Two water jets mounted behind rotating louvers at
the front of the vehicle provide steering and lift and propellers at the
rear provide forward movement up to 2 knots at depths down to 33'.
The
two built-in scuba tanks and diving regulators allow two people to
remain underwater for an hour. The zero-emission vehicle uses a 54 kW
160 NM electric motor powered by six 48-volt Lithium-ion batteries,
allowing it to reach a maximum speed of 75 mph. The two-person capacity
car has the same steel chassis used in the Lotus Elise, its interior is
impervious to fresh or salt water, and an onboard laser-guided sensor
enables the sports car to operate autonomously. Batteries power the car
for up to 80 miles on land and for three hours underwater after a
four-hour charge. Special conditions and guarantee limitations apply.
Please call 1-800-227-3528 for details. 12 1/2' L x 6 1/3' W. (2,028
lbs.)
