A model stands next to a Rinspeed eXasis concept car at the International Motor Show in Geneva.
'There's never been anything like it' is how the Rinspeed concept car eXasis has been described as, and 'and it looks like no other vehicle before it.'
It is being seen as a drivable 'glass' car with a completely transparent body. The insect-like, shiny body comes mounted on a lightweight, 150 bhp Weber engine driven by CO2-emission-reducing bioethanol. The car weighs 750 kg.
