Rinspeed
microMAX Concept
At
the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, the Switzerland-based Porsche tuner and concept car
fabrication company Rinspeed unveiled the Rinspeed microMAX. This practical
concept was designed for communal city use. The idea is to harness the power of
the ubiquitous smartphone-app, and create a vehicle which can be used by
multiple people from different households. The app would work in real time, and
it would help you find a nearby microMAX with a driver headed to a similar
location, and then put you in touch. Think of it like a hitch hikers utopia.
On
the inside the Rinspeed microMAX features a space-saving layout which employs
upright seats, which more or less hold the occupant in a semi-standing
position. This means there’s room for a driver, three passengers, and bulky
cargo like a stroller or shopping cart. Those using the microMAX to head to
work early in the morning will be pleased to hear its got an in-built coffee
maker and refrigerator.
Powering
the Rinspeed microMAX is an all electric drivetrain of unspecified potency or
configuration.
