Rinspeed Chopster

On March 1, 2005, the Swiss automotive tuning powerhouse, Rinspeed AG, and EDAG Engineering + Design AG, presented the world with the Rinspeed Chopster: a very special type of luxury-class lifestyle SUV. This joint project was designed for automobile enthusiasts who appreciate an assertive and sporty appearance in the SUV segment. To exude its strength, the roof of the original vehicle was chopped by 70 mm and muscular fender flares were added. As Director of the EDAG-Design Studio, Johannes Barckmann explains, "Our inspiration for the design of the Chopster was the image of an American football player whose outfit and athleticism stands for enormous strength and assertiveness." The wide muscular flares and lowered roofline of the Chopster mimic the ferocity of a player ready to pounce. Similarly, the wedge-shaped side skirts of the SUV highlight its urge to move forward. In the front bumper, large air inlets feed the intercoolers needed to power the 600-hp turbocharged engine created by BSO 2001 Software & CAD Engineering. This ambitious exterior certainly commands respect.
