Pirelli and Rinspeed together again with the new "UC?"

The new Swiss concept car that revolutionizes mobility chooses Cinturato P7 Geneva, 2 March, 2010 - The partnership between Pirelli and Rinspeed continues with "UC?," the new concept car from the Swiss designer, destined to be one of the stars of the Geneva 2010 motor show, and for which Pirelli, more and more focused on eco-friendly solutions for the automotive industry, is a technological partner. In fact, the Swiss company has chosen the Cinturato P7 for the new UC?. Cinturato P7 is the first ecological tyre for high-end cars, designed and developed by Pirelli to combine safety, ecology, and performance in a single tyre. "UC?" stands for Urban Commuter. This revolutionary two-seater speedster, powered by an electric engine, is less than 2.60 meters long. The superlight "UC?" has a top speed of 120 km/h and a range of 105 kilometres. The objective of the project is to propose a solution to avoid traffic jams and stress, while guaranteeing a safe and ecological drive on urban streets. Thanks to the Cinturato P7, Pirelli and Rinspeed are back together again with the new "UC?," a tradition that began four years ago with the "eXasis," followed by the "sQuba" in 2008 and the "iChange" in 2009.
