This looks cool but not sure if it will take off

The car has a steel chassis, while its lightweight body panels are made of carbon nanotubes

off course it is

I wonder how many will try and order one?

what a load of poop.

Can't believe they are saying it would have a steel chassis when it is blatantly a picture of a lotus elise with a few bubbles.

Rubbish.

I am sure you can have a whale of a time in that.

If it is powered by compressed air, you can breathe it.


.... and how long after production begins will the first underwater speed camera be installed?!

Underwater car with no roof???

Ahhh I see - you need scuba gear to breathe the on-board air supply.


Bonkers !!

Well would you believe it - a car that sinks when you drive into deep water. Amazing.
