Rinspeed Presto

The Rinspeed Presto is a concept vehicle of the Swiss creative powerhouse Rinspeed.

The One- on Presto is that it by pushing a button can transform into a 3.7 -meter-long four-seater in a few seconds by a nearly 3 meters short open two-seater. This is done by an electric motor that can push the car to 746 mm in the length of about 2 spindle gear.

The engine is innovative: the Presto is equipped with a four-cylinder common -rail turbo diesel engine as dual fuel with a combined gas - diesel operation. It is based on a 1.7 liter engine Mercedes -Benz and was modified accordingly. The fuel consumption and pollutant emissions are well below the standard engine. Despite the very environmentally friendly principle of the engine, it delivers maximum output of 88 kW, which in 10.5 seconds accelerates the car to 100 km / h and gives it a top speed of 180 km / hr.

Also for some more details, the engineers and designers at Rinspeed have come up with some clever solutions. Sun lit eg when braking the word STOP on and when turning off the word TURN, which are formed by means of LED technology.
