Rinspeed to show iChange at Geneva Motor Show


As you already guessed, this is exactly kontseptkare iChange of Rinspeed, which is remarkable, that is controlled with the help of iPhone. Finally, yesterday, a Swiss company formally announced that the debut of this unique kontseptkara exhibition will be held at Geneva Motor Show'09, which will begin its work next week in Geneva, Switzerland, says PC World.

In the control system of the machine, iPhone plays the role of a key. The car belongs to the category of triple sportrivnyh cars and can take on board two passengers, excluding the driver. However, according to Rinspeed, is the world's first machine, which can alter salon depending on the number of passengers.

Among other features iChange can be a powerful electric motor that runs on lithium ion batteries. In addition, landing in the car by lifting kaplevidnoy roof. To be honest, it would be erroneous to believe iChange weak machine, as its engine, developed and manufactured by Siemens, has a maximum power of 150 kW, and the car easily can get the maximum speed of 220 km / h. And up to 100 km / h Rinspeed iChange speed of slightly more than 4 seconds. In part, this vehicle is required six-speed transmission from the Subaru WRX.

The core iChange a navigation system multimediynaya Harman / Kardon new generation, which is based on energy-efficient processor Intel. According to the developers, it is revolutionary and unique. It turns out that it not only meets the highest demands on sound quality, but much lighter than conventional systems, but also consumes much less energy. The navigation system is also unusual: it shows the most economical route, and displays information in 3D.

Incidentally, the author of this idea, Frank Rindernekt already well known for other projects, sQuba. This model is notable that can move not only on land but under water. Kontseptkar was demonstrated last year at the Geneva Motor Show. However, none kontseptkar it never reached a serial production, so it is unlikely to be able to find iChange in auto!
