Rinspeed Yello Talbo 1996
The Rinspeed Yello Talbo is a Swiss sports car produced in association with Dieter Meier and Boris Blank of the eclectic electronic group Yello.
The car has nostalgic design clues, being based on a 1938 Talbot-Lago 150 SS by Figoni & Falaschi and has a 5.0 V8-engine with automatic box. The beautiful flowing lines of the Talbo owe their inspiration to designs of the late 1930s. The best of these carried the badge of Figoni et Falaschi.
The interior is decorated with precious fabrics of "En Soie". The fiber-optics controlled "ODR"-stereo system of "Pioneer" is unsurpassed in its quality. A "Crash" watch - made from recycled aluminum material - can be easily switched from the wrist of the driver to the horn button by a simple twist - and, of course, vice versa.
The supercharged V8-engine - coupled to an automatic gearbox - with a 5.0 liter displacement and an output of 320 HP enables the RINSPEED YELLO TALBO to breathtaking acceleration figures (5.5 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h). The suspension was concepted by "Eibach" and the ultra-wide Dunlop tires (265/35 ZR 20 - SP 8000) are mounted on chromed BBS RS-II wheels (9x20") and guarantee an optimal handling.
