30 old years ago, Bond drove of the pier and in to the sea in his Lotus Espirt. Unfortunately it was only a model for the underwater shots. Well the boffins at Lotus have now managed it for real.

That looks really cool! The $1,000,000 price tag is a bit overwhelming though

Funny how when high end supercars, prototypes and such are made, it is always a 1 million development cost

$ 1,000,000 for a car that doesn't even come with a roof? :-?
And somehow I think the gearbox and other mechanical parts won't like to be to much in the water....
Does it come with an automatic clothing dryer? ;D
