Rinspeed will show the submarine Squba in Geneva.

The concept is brilliant. The manufacture Rinspeed did the trick and send man to the sea depths in the car which got the name Squba.

The concept Rinspeed Squba has been created on the base of the sportcar Lotus Elise and is 3.78 m long, 1.94 m wide and 1.12 m high. The boot is small as almost all its capacity is occupied by a tank with oxygen for underwater trips and the propeller system for underwater movement.

Squba is nothing more than a product of the modern nano-technologies. The body – carbon and special plastic, the engine – 75-hp electro power unit with the max torque of 160 Nm, the interior filling – special water-resistant covering. The weight of the car is 920 kg which enables the max speed of 120 km/h on the ground, 6 km/h on water and 3 km/h under water (submersion up to 10 m). The engine is fed by Li-Ion batteries which are placed in a special box.

To cut the long story short, Rinspeed Squba is an ideal car for James Bond.

The minivan concept Hyundai HED-5 will be shown in Geneva

The company Hyundai is planning to show the extraordinary concept – “plastic” minivan HED-5 in Geneva. The car has been created in collaboration with Recaro, Bayer and LG.

The major task of the novelty is to demonstrate the usage of ecologically clean materials and eco-engine in the automotive industry. Thus, the company Recaro has introduced a set of exclusive and multi-functional seats; Bayer and LG – body elements and the interior filling made of special plastic (the typical material is used for Rinspeed concepts); and Hyundai – the idea and the concept.

Nothing has been said about the eco-engine of the concept as well as about the serial production in future. So we lay all our hopes on Geneva.
