The Rinspeed Splash is a peppy sports car, going from 0-100 in 5.9 seconds and hitting top speeds of a modest 201kph. However, getting to a destination is not just about the speed at which you travel, but the route you take getting there. And the natural gas powered Rinspeed Splash, with the touch of a button, uses hydraulics to transform the car into a boat.
Rinspeed’s eXasis looks cool enough for us to forgive their horrid use of capitalization. The car is constructed from aluminum and plastic, and most of the control panel is touch sensitive. As I understand it, the use of clear, conductive Baytron allows the elimination of most simple wiring.
But is there a practical application? You tell me. How many times have we all wondered whether that was a person-or just a scarecrow-that we just ran over?
