The world will get its first look at the 1,650-lb vehicle at the Geneva Auto Show in March. Frank Rinderknecht, president of Rinspeed, says the eXasis' transparency "symbolizes the development process, a process that takes immaterial spirit and turns it into matter, transforming a vision into a real car."
