Known for producing eccentric concepts for the Geneva Motor Show, Swiss independent think tank Rinspeed has released sketches of the iChange, an innovative new sports car concept due to be revealed at the next Geneva Auto Show in March 2009.
The iChange is to be the latest in a long line of technology-packed, thought-provoking Rinspeed concepts designed to push the boundaries of design and imagination to its limits. Designers at Rinspeed created the '1-2-3-seater' iChange by employing an 'electronic trick-tail', which adapts to the number of passengers on board. The sporty, streamlined teardrop shape is typically a single-passenger vehicle, but thanks to an electronically actuated rear-end structure that rises, the sports car is able to transform into a compact sportsvan.
"Thinking about variability and the constantly changing energy demand, we have created an extremely flexible vehicle," said Rinspeed CEO Frank Rinderknecht. The zero-emission car is powered by a 130kW electric motor and features both extremely low weight and aerodynamic drag, further reducing power consumption. "If we want to preserve our individual mobility in the future we have to re-think our conception of cars," he added.
