Swiss carmaker Rinspeed has announced that it plans to unveil a new and unique all-electric car it is calling the iChange at the Geneva Auto Show in March.

They state it is more than a "clever concept car" and rather symbolizes the dramatic change towards electrification the entire auto industry is undergoing.

It is a one-seat sports car that can transform into "a comfortable car with ample room for three." It is a highly aerodynamic efficient teardrop shape with a 150 kw electric motor capable of propelling it from 0 to 60 in slightly over 4 seconds. At the push of a button two seats appear after the rear-end of the car pops open.

Siemens AG is responsible for the engine/generator, electronics and battery connection interface.

It has no doors and a pure wool interior.

Although new pictures are now available, this unusual concept car was first mentioned back in December.

    Wow, nice car, but why is it that it looks like that, why car makers change the image of a car when developing an electric car.
