Check out VW's wireframe Beetle swimming with sharks

We recently told you about the Volkswagen Beetle shark cage constructed as a tie-in with Discovery Channel's Shark Week, now you can see it in action. Well, briefly – the video below spends a lot more time talking about it than actually showing it in action, but you'll just have to tune into Shark Week (next week) for that.

The wireframe Beetle-shaped cage that can be driven on the ocean floor is said to be just a quarter-inch off the dimensions of a Beetle Turbo. However, probably the most important thing about any of this is that it has thrusters, which we think should absolutely be a production option starting right now.
