LONDON , England ( CNN ) -- The heady days of James Bond are but a distant memory and , the sad fact is amphibious cars are just not that cool anymore . On land , on water , under the water : The Rinspeed sQuba will go anywhere you want and it is entirely emissions-free . But a new fully submersible car inspired by Bond and updated for the new millennium could breathe fresh life into the sub-aqua sports car . The Rinspeed sQuba is a fully submersible car designed by Swiss car designer Frank M Rinderknecht . Inspired by James Bond 's submersible Lotus Esprit in the 1977 movie `` The Spy Who Loved Me , '' the car drives on land , on water -- and under the water to a depth of ten meters . Released as a prototype last year , the car is carbon neutral , entirely emissions-free and boasts electric motors and water jets to allow the driver to control the vehicle under the water .

Rinderknecht , the chief executive of Rinspeed , told CNN that no further units of the car have been produced -- but commercial production was not out of the question . `` Since the sQuba was perceived as a prototype , the manufacturing has not been explored . However , we are open for anyone to take up the project to serial production , '' he said . Subscribe to SuperYachtWorld . COPYRIGHT © 2009 IPC MEDIA LTD. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED .
