Porsche Cayenne Rinspeed Chopster by Rinspeed AG

The Rinspeed Chopster is a very special type of SUV that’s the result of a joint project of the exclusive Swiss automotive tuning powerhouse Rinspeed AG and EDAG Engineering + Design AG ,an international innovative development partner for the automobile industry. The goal of both companies was to create a vehicle whose ambitious exterior immediately commands respect, so to emphasize its sporty character the EDAG design team chopped the roof of the original vehicle by 70 mm and added muscular fender flares, which in combination with the lowered roofline of the Chopster are consciously designed to evoke the image of a football player ready to pounce. The massive wedge-shaped side skirts visually reemphasize the SUV’s urge to storm forward. The newly designed front of the vehicle is similarly impressive: The beefy front bumper features large air inlets for the intercoolers, an unmistakable sign for the enormous demands for air made by the 600-hp turbocharged engine that was developed by BSO 2001 Software & CAD Engineering. But the luxurious yet sporty look continues in the design of the interior. Each of the four occupants has his own separate sport seat – either by Cobra Seats or by Recaro. A futuristic center console spans the length of the interior from the shift gate to the rear seats. The bow-shaped console houses cup holders and switches as well as the on-board infotainment system with Blaupunkt monitors, DVD player and Sony PS2 game console.
