According to Rinspeed, the names given to its concept cars are more than marketing-driven slick onomatopoeia that polls well with focus groups. The Swiss carmaker's names often have a deeper meaning, it seems.
That's certainly true for its latest creation. "BamBoo" is the name of his latest concept car, which resembles a grown-up golf cart.
Now here's where it matches its name: Many interior components are made from bamboo fibres and in essence, the vehicle was designed to awaken your longing for sun, summer and the desire to be at the beach. It is a reminiscence of the 1970s, of the south of France and St. Tropez.
The concept sports simple, clean lines. No bells, no whistles. Nothing is superfluous. Plain aesthetics in their purest form, according to Rinspeed.
Rinspeed believes that when it shows this car for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show in March next year, it will evoke plenty of admiration. Admiration of how anyone can come up with something so weird-looking, perhaps?
And, to ensure that beach dwellers have less smog to breathe in, the BamBoo is, of course, electrically powered.
