The Rinspeed UC? Concept: ???

So, this is the Rinspeed UC? concept — and no, that question mark is not a typo. Yes, it throws me for a bit of a loop as well, but hey, the Swiss are full of surprises … sort of.

But anyway, obviously, Rinspeed is a Swiss automaker. The company plans to unveil what is classified as a whole mobility concept in March of 2010, at the annual motor show in Geneva.

That will, of course, be the Rinspeed UC? concept. “UC?” is actually an acronym, for the words “Urban Commuter.” However, it can be interpreted literally as well — as the phrase, “You see?” Pretty clever, no?

The concept is a two seater with an electric motor; in the future, it may be a series.

The small, speedy vehicle is only two and a half meters long. It is extremely lightweight and supposedly able to go as fast as one hundred and ten kilometers per hour.

Infiniti is a car company that is making all sorts of different jaws drop and when the Infiniti Essence concept car came out, I have to say that it was commanding the room all over. At the Geneva Motor Show that happened in March, this beautiful car was debuted and I have to say that the combination of gas and electric is something that every single man and woman in the world would not want to drive – after all, in the UK there are not a lot of green cars.

The cool thing about the Infiniti Essence is the overall feel of the car. It is a sports car and it is certainly one handsome looking car. The interior is just as important as the exterior and while this car has not hit production yet, it is something to think about. After all, the Infiniti Essence has hit the press and the press wants to know when this beautiful car is going into production.

Keep your eyes peeled for the Infiniti Essence and I’ll keep my ears open and keep you updated!
