2000 Rinspeed Tatooo Concept...

"Under the enormous front-hinged hood a powerful 5.7-liter V8 aluminum power plant delivers feisty acceleration. Precision tuning delivers a power output of 409 hp (301 kW) at 5’800 rpm. Maximum torque is 555 Nm at 4’350 rpm. The dual exhaust system with striking Remus tailpipes produces a robust sound. Ultra wide and ultra low Continental SportContact tires in sizes 245/35 ZR 20 and 295/40 ZR 20 provide the necessary grip for the enormous available torque. For mounting the tires, An Italian wheel manufacturer created custom 20-inch rims. Getting to 100 km/h from a standstill takes just 5.9 seconds. Top speed is 245 km/h.

The RINSPEED TATOOO.COM features a pneumatic suspension to keep the vehicle leveled perfectly at all times. An infinite number of suspension settings are available at the push of a button. This offers a couple of advantages. In addition to continuously adjustable ride firmness, the suspension permits adjustments in ride height, depending on terrain, speed or road conditions."

If you can guess what that thing is at the back of the truck without doing any research, then you're a GENIUS

god, everything about it is ugly. do you know what that is? i'm thinking some sort of panoramic light

[MrVette83]

That is so gawdafwuly ugly. The best part about it could very well be the engine.

Ha ha the truck's not that bad very retro.
The thing in the back is a diving bike with built in diving helmet.

[MrVette83]

Is it supposed to be a retro designed Studabaker pickup?

I'm being serious, but it's a personal submarine. If you look at the picture where it shows the rear end of the truck, you'll see the seat and, under it, you'll see the propeller and the fin to steer it. It's used in realitively shallow waters, like what you would see in Carribian(SP?) for rent. The two little black things under the helmet are the controls. So, am I a genious now or what?

Ohhh, I see now. I was gonna say it was an anti intercontinental ballistic missile laser, but I guess a personal submarine/bike thingy makes more sense(somewhat...).

"Only in America" do Swiss companies produce concept cars...?

[Spastik_Roach]

This company is a Dutch company right? Rinspeed?

Nope, Rinspeed is from Switzerland

[dydzi]

rinspeed always got crazy ideas
how many companies would make a pick up from porsche 911 turbo (with natural gas engine) or make a car that can switch length? they also made a car that swims and flies (50 cm above ground - rinspeed splash) and tuned bugatti eb110 (cyan concept)

Yes DodgeMitroBIRM, you ARE a genius

Egg Nog, I was referring to that they are aiming for the American market

Sorry about the confusion
