The engine is a compact and powerful two-cylinder supercharged 750cc unit that develops 150hp and 150Nm of twist. Environmentally friendly bioethanol is used to power it, keeping in tradition with earlier eco-friendly Rinspeed vehicles. With a projected vehicle weight of just 750 kilograms thanks to plastic lightweight construction each horsepower has to account for just five kilograms - on a level with a Porsche. The six-speed roadster can hit 100km/h in just 4.8s all the way to a top speed of 210km/h.
Rinspeed will be showing it at the Geneva Auto Show in March.
