An electric motor provides rear wheel drive while on roads. Underwater, two propellers in the stern and two jet drives in the bow propel the amphibious car. With zero emissions, the design is even environmentally friendly, eliminating any pollution into the sea. Costing almost $1.5 million to build, the sQuba concept car will be on show on motor show soon.
