Rinspeed E2 is a Fiat 500 Mod at the Geneva Auto Show 2009

— March 3, 2009 — Autos
The Geneva Auto Show 2009 is the showplace for the Rinspeed E2, a modified Fiat 500. The E2 uses the hotter Abarth model tuned to get extra power and economy through an engine management system.

The Rinspeed E2 isn't a beauty queen and surely doesn't have the look of a performance car, so it seems unlikely this version will garner much respect, but who knows?

Implications - Smaller seems to be better in terms of vehicles, as smaller cars appear more efficient and fit more easily into city-goers lifestyles. These particular city lifestyles appreciate small products that pack the punch of larger ones -- like this Rinspeed E2 car does with its powerful high-performance engine.
Trend Themes
1. Efficient Small Vehicles - The popularity of city lifestyles appreciating smaller products that pack the punch of larger ones is opening up opportunities to create efficient small vehicles like the modified Fiat 500 Rinspeed E2.
2. High-performance Engine Tuning - As the demand for powerful small cars grows, innovative engine management systems for high-performance engine tuning can disrupt the automotive industry.
3. Alternative Transportation - The Rinspeed E2 shows there is a shift towards smaller, hybrid or electric alternatives becoming more desirable as a mode of transportation.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive - The automotive industry can disrupt by developing innovative engine management systems and efficient small cars with high-performance engines to meet consumer demand.
2. Green Energy - The demand for hybrid and electric cars is growing and expected to continue to rise, creating opportunities for companies invested in the green energy industry.
3. City Planning - City planners can disrupt by emphasizing the need for alternative modes of transportation, including smaller hybrid and electric vehicles, to promote sustainable and efficient cities.
