Rinspeed iChange Concept Unveiled (with video)

When Rinspeed isn’t out tuning Porsche’s and Subaru’s, the Swiss automobile manufacturer and tuner is coming up with exotic concept cars for the Geneva Motor Show - every year. Last year, Rinspeed came to Geneva with the Rinspeed sQuba, a concept based on the Lotus Elise that could ‘drive’ underwater. This year, Rinspeed is back with its new iChange concept - and yes, as the name suggests the Rinspeed iChange changes shape.

It’s basically the world’s first zero-emissions car that can change shape. In standard form, the Rinspeed iChange seats one; but with a push of a button it can seat up to a total of 3 passengers.

Weighing at 1,050 kilograms (or 2,310 pounds), the iChange is powered by a 150 kW electric motor (204-hp) that allows it to go from 0 to 62 mph in just over 4 seconds with a top speed of 136 mph.
