Another Swiss transformer will be revealed in March during the Geneva International Motor Show. The iChange Concept from the car manufacturer Rinspeed has a variable body design that can accommodate 1, 2, or 3 passengers.

The concept car will be powered by a 130 kilowatt electronic motor that has zero emission. The car’s design is fit for the anticipated varying needs for energy consumption coupled with efficiency.
