One of the most memorable cars in movie history, the Lotus Esprit provides much of the excitement of the film. Q's modifications meant that it was able to turn into a submarine. Bond is chased around Sardinia pursued by a missile-launching motorbike, Jaws and a car full of Stromberg's henchmen, and finally by Stromberg's mistress Naomi in a helicopter. To evade Naomi, Bond drives the car off a jetty into the sea, where it transforms into a submarine. Bond uses the car's missile-launchers to dispose of Naomi and proceeds to take a closer look at Stromberg's underwater base. Having utilised the submarine Lotus' ink jets, torpedoes and mines to fight off Stromberg's underwater henchmen, who are seen wearing the underwater backpacks, Bond drives the car up a beach to the amazement of the the holidaymakers.
