We asked "why?" when we first saw the Rinspeed BamBoo concept last year, and we once again feel compelled to question this car's existence. It's not moving, it's not appealing, and it's never going to be sold to anyone for real money. But nonetheless, here it is, in all its self-important glory.

Our previous description of the car, then based on renderings, holds up just as well with the car actually built as seen in the gallery above: "Unfortunately it ends up looking like a Renault 2CV mated with a golf cart on the floor of a shuttered British Motors Corporation plant."


The BamBoo, brought into reality by the Swiss engineering firms 4erC and Esoro, will make its official public debut on the floor of the Geneva Motor Show in just a couple weeks.

    You are clearly missing the point of this car. Its fun and quookie. Excentric beach buggy. Rinspeed make some bonkers motors - have you seen the car hydrofoil?? the coupe/convertable/pickup?? The company clearly butters its toast on the other side, and i think thats great!
