In filming, six Esprits were used (tagged "PPW 306R"), though only one submarine. The fictional history of the car in the film was that it was developed by Q-Branch of MI6, and its blueprints were stolen by KGB agent Anya Amasova (after Bond asked Amasova "How did you know about that?" Amasova replied, "I stole the blueprints of this car two years ago").
Filming ĭuring filming of The Spy Who Loved Me, the submarine was piloted by ex- U.S. The interior bears no resemblance to that of a car, being just a platform for the scuba divers, and the equipment used to operate, drive, and power the sub. It has four electric motors that allowed forward motion only. The sub requires a crew of two to operate. This undesirable force was compensated for by fins placed where the wheels would be in a conventional Esprit. The wedge shape of the Esprit is designed to provide downforce, which would cause the submarine to dive. It was built by Perry Oceanographic, Inc., of Riviera Beach, Florida, United States, specifically for the film, using a Lotus Esprit S1 bodyshell, for about $100,000 at the time. The submarine does not maintain a dry interior, and thus is a " wet sub" that requires occupants to don scuba gear.
