Here’s taking a look at just what happens to a car when left underwater
You must have read about the car-carrying cargo ship ‘Felicity Ace’ sinking in the ocean off the coast of Portugal after a fire broke out in the ship. What broke the hearts of several car enthusiasts was a huge number of exclusive cars from carmakers like Lamborghini, Porsche, Bentley, Audi and more, which sunk along with the cargo ship around 10,000 feet under the ocean.
Many people must have wondered about the fate of all those cars which go submerged under the ocean waters forever. Here’s a video from the YouTube channel of ‘Crazy XYZ’, which gives us a hint of the condition of such cars that get submerged in an ocean, river or lake.

Many people must have wondered about the fate of all those cars which go submerged under the ocean waters forever. Here’s a video from the YouTube channel of ‘Crazy XYZ’, which gives us a hint of the condition of such cars that get submerged in an ocean, river or lake.
Why did they push the car into the lake?
The video starts with the claim of the presenter that he, along with his few friends, pushed an old Maruti Suzuki WagonR into a lake with the intent of seeing its condition after three months. After these three months got over, the presenter and his friends came back to the same spot from where they pushed the car into the lake.
What does the car feels like after three months?
In the video, the presenter claims that the water level in the lake fell down since the last time they pushed the WagonR into the lake. At that time, the car got completely submerged in the lake. However, this time, the upper half of the car became visible due to a reduction in the water level. The presenter and his friends took the help of a crane to get the car out of the lake.
Before getting the WagonR out, the presenter tries to inspect the car’s condition by walking toward the car through the shallow water level of the lake. To his surprise, he finds out that the side window panels, rear quarter glass panels and rear windshield had broken, while the front windshield also had several cracks formed due to the pressure inside the lake. The car is partially submerged in the water and filled with slush and algae.
Rescuing the WagonR was a long task
They check the vehicle to see what all has changed
The men at rescue tied the rear pillars of the WagonR to the crane’s hook through a pulling rope attached to it. During this rescue operation, the water and slush present inside the car drains out. The WagonR’s exterior portion submerged in water has green-coloured algae over it.
After a lot of work, they got the vehicle out
After the car gets taken out of the lake safely, the presenter and his friends examine the cabin’s condition by opening the door panels. They found that many plastic and fabric panels of the car got decayed, while the car’s interior had filled with slush, algae and bricks inside. To their surprise, they even found some snakes resting inside the WagonR, which they later on rescued.
Cars are not submarines
SWIPE UP and watch the full video to know all about the car.
In this video, we saw that if a car remains submerged in water for a long time, the metallic parts get rusted, while the plastic and fabric parts get decayed. Needless to say, the repairing costs of a car in such a condition are beyond imagination.
