No, that’s not a typo or a joke. Seems that a submersible, open-top car/submarine is exactly what the Swiss have invented.
And the picture to the right is not a joke either, even though it looks like it should be painted on the side of a van, that’s actually it!
It’s called the sQuba, and it has a top speed on land of 77mph, though it slows to a speedy 1.8mph underwater. And yes, if you go underwater, you will have to use a SCUBA apparatus to breathe, because you will be completely exposed to the water. Because it’s, you know, a fucking convertible.
The car, of which there is only one in existence, and which has (as far as I can tell) zero practical application, cost $1.5 million to make. Meanwhile my wireless internet keeps cutting in and out. Way to prioritize, scientists!

lol yeah dont bother trying to find the cure for aids or cancer, make a useless f*cking 1.5 Mil car that prob .002% of the ppl on earth would own.
I swear sometimes i wonder, and stuff like this drives me nuts. We can all thank the Swiss for another useless piece of junk… (i would hate to have that car worked on)

I was totally into this until I read the part about needing scuba gear.
That just makes this vehicle completely impractical.
