Switzerland - home to fine chocolate, expensive watches and billions of pounds worth of dodgy, looted gold.
However, unlike its vaults and privacy laws, it’s latest car is easy to see through, namely because it’s transparent. Built from a clear-plastic, the eXasis from Rinspeed is a two-seater bullet with a see-through chassis and floor. The exposed wheels are matched by an outer shell that shows off the load-bearing aluminum chassis underneath. Driver and passenger get to see the engine and road beneath them as they hurtle along at up to 130mph, thanks to the whole thing only weighing 750kg. I just love that transparent dashboard control.
It’s one key advantage though is that female celebrities won’t have to wait for the door to be opened for the public to see that they’re not wearing any knickers. Again.

Is it humanly possible to make what is a really quite cool and interesting vehicle any more boring. What a dreary dull and uninspired video... Meh Give me an Aerial Atom or a Superlight Caterham 7 instead I think.
I think the control panel looked a bit fake - it looked like a see-though CD. I agree with Steve the video was extremely boring for a cool looking car.
This car I a piece of shit! It looks awful !
