We wanted to build an exclusive car, but one that could be taken out on the roads as well as acting as a pilot project at exhibitions. This ambitious target has certainly been achieved. The pronounced engine hood links unmistakably to the typical design lines of the American offshoot Chrysler . The two windshields are electrically adjustable and move in and out of the powered engine hood in order to protect the passengers from unpleasant wind drafts. The interior The interior presents itself also in a new way.
All menus are easily and discretionary called up.
As an unusual element the seat cushions are easily reversible. By this feature not only the look of the interior can be swiftly changed, but the tissues are adapted to the use of the vehicle. The development work For the realization of this project Frank M. Rinderknecht worked with the most modern technologies and the best specialists of the Swiss car industry . Despite that Switzerland does not have an international reputation in the automotive industry, every year an astonishing numbers of concept cars and prototypes are made in this country. For the first time, Rinspeed called upon the services of the Swiss engineering company Esoro as a general contractor for the design, the engineering and the construction of the X-Trem.
