    Re: Rin Speed

    The only thing I would take off of that car are the wheels, and paint them silver......the rest is just hideous!


    How in the world does rinspeed stay afloat? I doubt a few if any people actually buy these cars, and their concepts must cost A LOT to make...

    I thought Bayer made aspirin to cure headaches, not to create them.

    Checked it out at the Geneva show a couple of weeks ago, and was not impressed.

    As for who buys this kind of thing: Nobody really needs to, because it was paid for by "sponsors".

    From what I saw, a group of companies including Bayer (which makes plastics for automotive use, not just pharmaceuticals) paid Rinspeed to build this car as a showcase for new materials and concepts.
    Of course, if someone should be sufficiently lacking in taste to want to buy one for real road use, I suspect that Mr Rinderknecht would be happy to oblige if he were offered enough cash.

    Re: Rin Speed

    Any more pics please?

    I kind of like the FRONT and the wheels - other than that - not to my taste.
