    How long can you expect to drive underwater without intake air? Even if he didn't suck up water, shouldn't you have supply air?
    I am sure this wasn't intended to drive under water for any extended period of time.......

    My guess is that the tall pole that never went under the water was the intake.

    I dont know, he seemed to have a good idea what was going to happen. Pretty cool, you always see pictures like these after that off-road race through the swamps of Russia. I cant figure out how they waterproof everything. I understand a snorkle and rased exit for the exhaust, but what about all the electronics. Cool Video though.

    The intake and exhaust are right there in front of the A-pillar on the right side. The intake is really tall, looks like a flagpole. The exhaust is shorter and actually becomes submerged in the deep part.
