A team of engineers, commercial divers, and enthusiasts managed to successfully drive a converted electric Toyota Land Cruiser underwater for over 4 miles (7 kilometers), navigating the nearly 100 feet (30 meters) depths of Darwin Harbour in Northern Australia.
The stunt has its roots in a 40-year-old attempt that saw a similar Land Cruiser test its swimming skills, only to hit a rock less than 2 miles (3 km) from the start and fail. However, for the people living in the nearby town of Darwin, the experiment became an urban legend, and now, a brave group of people coming from all sorts of backgrounds have successfully recreated the drive using electric power.
