James Bond Lotus Esprit Submarine The Spy Who Loved Me 1:36

One of Q Branch's most iconic vehicles, the Lotus Esprit featured in The Spy Who Loved Me is capable of driving both on land and underwater, transforming into a submarine in seconds. Armed with a range of gadgets, including surface-to-air missiles, the versatile Lotus would later make a memorable return to land in the middle of a beach crowded with astonished bathers. The Lotus Esprit submersible was brought to life on screen in 'The Spy Who Loved Me' through both special effects miniature photography and the construction of a full-scale operational incarnation, built by Florida-based marine engineers.
