Rinspeed has produced some of the most bizarre concept cars ever conceived and the Bedouin is one of the most intriguing.
First presented to the world at the Geneva Motor Show back in 2003, the Rinspeed Bedouin is based on a 996-generation Porsche 911 and received a host of bizarre exterior and interior modifications. Most notably, it can morph into a pickup truck in a matter of seconds.
The rear of Rinspeed’s concept sports a unique roofline that folds away and turns the rear luggage compartment into a pickup truck-esque bed. The operation of this roof is powered by two small electric motors while the tailgate itself is also electrically-operated and extends out by up to 45 cm.
