The next time a cruise vacation includes whale spotting, one will do well to ensure that the majestic sea creature they spot isn't actually a Killer Whale Submarine -- yes, Killer Whale Submarine.
Technology is known to draw upon natural elements of Mother Nature to dictate design and function of some of the most innovative inventions today, and this water predator submersible is no different. Just as the pictures depict, this beast of a machine actually protrudes in and out of water just as an actual killer whale would. With a 255 horsepower engine and top speed of 25 mph, this two-man submarine can actually be a lot of fun underwater. Of course, you can only have such an awesome toy if your pockets are as deep as the water you'll want to take it through; the Killer Whale Submarine is offered by hammacher Schlemmer for $100,000.
