Rinspeed, swiss design company once again unveiled its eccentric concepts : sQuba, an underwater car. They unveiled its project today and will display it at the 2008 Geneva Motor Show. The concept of sQuba is an amphibious car, you can drive it on the road or underwater, it can be submerged up to 10 meters below the surface, according to Rinspeed.
Made from carbon body and an electric motor, sQuba will only remain a one-off, and there are no plans for production, yet.

It’s the new version of Nissa Pivo concept, first shown in 2005, the electric-powered, 360-degree swiveler. Now it’s the Pivo 2. Just the same as the first Pivo, its cabin rotates, eliminating the need for a reverse gear, though its in-wheel motors can propel it in any direction — even sideways. What’s new in the Pivo 2 is its in-car Robotic Agent, a voice-recognition interface (in English or Japanese) to a valet application that can engage in a range of communications from basic vehicle functions to the closest parking space. It looks like a cartoon car, but I really like the design.
