Rinspeed- Speed Art 300zx
Discussion
From that crazy Swiss co Rinspeed,the 'speed art' a moving canvas.....hur-hur
420 bhp,mostly from larger tubbies, running @ 1.5bar,0-100kmh=4.9 secs top speed of 300kmh.
Copied from Rinspeed blurb.
To achieve this impressive rating the 3.0 liter six-cylinder engine was equipped with larger sports turbo chargers, whose boost pressure can be controlled to 1.5 bar. The "Speed-Art" was also fitted with larger intercoolers, modified injection system, a hi-flow exhaust system and a more powerful clutch.
Modified running gear, brakes and steering
In the second phase of alterations, the running gear, brakes and steering were modified to match the improved power specifications. The "Speed-Art" thus has HKS running gear set 30mm deeper, with shock absorbers adjustable to eight positions. Switchable ABS is now a feature, both front and rear brakes are more powerful, and HICAS all-around steering has been fitted, similar to that in standard models but which can be switched on or off as required.
To improve road holding, the "Speed-Art" was fitted with specially manufactured Rinspeed front and rear spoilers, two side skirts, a rear skirt and a rear spoiler. Three-piece Rinspeed 8 and 9x18" wheel rims were added in the front and rear, Pirelli P ZERO 235/40 R 18 high performance tires were fitted at the front, and 265/35 R 18 at the back.

Yup...I might be wrong here but I think Rinspeeds' concepts are more design driven rather than performance.That said, some of their design stuff is very advanced,check out some of the porker & beemer stuff.I like oddball stuff like this.I may not like all the work they do but eccentric companies of this type ought to be cherished,imho.
