Shark Week Sneak Peek: Go Underwater In a VW Beetle!

It's here, that time of year when you're scared out of the water ... and onto your couch in front of the TV: Shark Week.

Discovery Channel kicks off it's 25th year of the can't-miss-television event this Sunday, and to celebrate Volkswagen has joined in on the fun with a pretty crazy new vehicle.

The Volkswagen Beetle Shark Observation Cage makes its underwater debut during three one-minute segments scattered throughout this year's programming ... and it's an impressive sight!

Modeled after the classic VW car, the vehicle can actually drive along the ocean floor with a driver in the front seat.

Shark Week officially starts August 12 with "Air Jaws Apocalypse" at 9PM on Discovery.
