Rinspeed Presto - Collapsible Car
Swiss company Rinspeed aims to solve Europe’s parking problems with the Rinspeed Presto collapsible car, a compact two-seater roadster that can expand itself into a four-seater with the push of a button. Stretching the car was done with a set of rails and an electric motor. Rinspeed claimed it maintained the structural integrity of a roadster.
When returning to Roadster mode, this slides back into the floor pan ‘like a drawer’ and the process is clearly visible from the Remus side pipes which track along grooves on the side panels of the Pre-Preg-Composite plastic body – a strong, lightweight material rarely used in car design because of its prohibitive cost.
