Have a look at this video of the Veyron that has been drowned into the sea.

But: Why so urgent to rescue the car? The damage is done. Instead they rush off use this "sharkhook" (urk - where have they fastened the hook?) to haul the car.
Next: They are towing a fourwheeldriver with automatic tranny - how much do this harm the drivetrain? Just look at the locked wheels when the car is moving. The mud makes no resistance? Maybe, but this is still the wrong way towing these cars.
And last: Look how the rescuedude washes his hands in dirt before he touches the steeringwheel.
Anyway - the car is probably a write-off in any case....

Will make a great novelty Yacht anchor.

Could all be prevented by having 4 airbags at either corner of the underbody that deploy on impact.
