Rinspeed boss Frank M. Rinderknecht, known for his extraordinary automotive creations, is also a James Bond fan and kept revisiting in his mind, the scene from the 1977 Bond movie "The Spy Who Loved Me". "For three decades I have tried to imagine how it might be possible to build a car that can fly under water. Now we have made this dream come true.", Rinderknecht said. The car, which is stable at a depth of 10 meters, has zero emissions, is driven by three electric motors, and powered by rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries.
