Scalextric James Bond The Spy Who Loved Me Lotus Esprit Submarine Wet Nellie 1:32 Slot Race Car C4359 Scalextric James Bond The Spy Who Loved Me 1:32 Slot Race Car

The famous 007, played by Roger Moore, careens off the dock and submerges the Lotus Esprit Submarine, also known as Wet Nellie, in the 1977 James Bond film 'The Spy Who Loved Me,' as he asks, "Can you swim?" The Lotus Esprit Submarine was the first car submarine shown in a movie and sparked imaginations about future technology. After the movie's release, Lotus was overwhelmed with orders for their new Esprit, resulting in a 3-year waiting list. Behind the mastery of filmmaking, the car was transformed into a wet sub when completely submerged, with former Navy Seal Don Griffin piloting the submarine while donning complete SCUBA gear. The Lotus Esprit Submarine is currently owned by Elon Musk, who plans to fit Tesla technology to make the magic shown in the movie a reality and build a functional land-to-water car submarine.

The Lotus Esprit S1 is known for its polygonal, 'folded paper' like design, but it was ultimately made famous when it was driven by MI6 Special Agent, 007 James Bond, in the 1977 hit movie 'The Spy Who Loved Me' starring Roger Moore as Bond. This Scalextric car is displayed in submarine mode, but it is not recommended to actually put it in water.
