Overall Rating
Rinspeed Oasis:
Rinspeed Inc. is a Swiss concept car manufacturer founded in 1979. Rinspeed often show their designs at CES in Las Vegas and the Geneva Motor Show.
Rinspeed Inc. was founded in 1979 by Frank M. Rinderknecht and by the 1980s, Rinspeed had become the exclusive Swiss importer of AMG and AC Schnitzer vehicles. Rinspeed became synonymous with launches at the Geneva Motorshow, their first unveiling was, a turbocharged, modified Volkswagen Golf GTI with squared grille and headlamps. In 1981, Rinspeed returned to the show with a more heavily modified Golf called the Aliporta, featuring gullwing doors similar to those on the DeLorean. In the following years, Rinspeed showed concept Porsche's at the Geneva Motorshow including a heavily modified 930 Turbo known as the Rinspeed R39, at the time becoming a unique convertible 911 Turbo that was not in mainstream production and a R69 Turbo concept, a 911 Turbo coupe inspired by the Ferrari Testarossa.

Concept Overview:
Rinspeed Oasis (Concept). Weighing only 1100 kg, it’s quite light. Rear‑wheel drive offers dynamic handling and sporty feedback. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 9.7 s). The top speed reaches 130 km/h. Seating for 2 makes it ideal for daily use.
As a pure concept vehicle, the Rinspeed Oasis Concept was not subjected to Euro NCAP crash testing. Its primary focus was on showcasing innovative design and autonomous technology rather than production-ready safety ratings.
12 kWh (108 Hp) Electric Verdict:
Performance Verdict
The 108 Hp electric motor provides sufficient power for urban driving, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration of 9.7 seconds, making it agile enough for city traffic but not built for high-speed performance.
Fuel Economy
Equipped with a modest 12 kWh battery, the Oasis Concept offers an all-electric range of 100 km, suitable for short daily commutes but limiting its practicality for longer journeys.
