Codenamed Project Neptune, the submarine was unveiled at this year's Monaco Yacht Show ? the yachting industry's biggest event, which takes place every September.

The Project Neptune submarine is expected to cost around $4 million, and will be made in a limited-edition run of 12
Although few details and images have been revealed, the companies are billing Project Neptune as a vehicle that will "redefine luxury and performance for a select few".

This is more than twice the amount of Aston Martin's One-77 car, which costs around $1.85 million.
Renders show the futuristic three-person submarine with a bubble-like cabin, encased within a silver and black body ? which Aston Martin vice president Marek Reichman likens to the brand's Valkyrie car.
