Local police made light of the situation, suggesting the driver may have been auditioning for the role of Daniel Craig’s replacement as James Bond, recalling the Lotus Esprit that could turn into a submersible in the film The Spy Who Loved Me.

The 31-year-old owner had reportedly dropped off a friend and was reversing into a car park when the incident occurred. The vehicle sank 50 feet into the lake in Mondsee.

The driver was able to swim back to shore and suffered only minor injuries.
