Swiss Company Rinspeed has kind of made a name for itself when it comes to concocting off-the-wall concept cars.

Their latest is what looks to be a bright green BMW i8 with a DJI Inspire One drone attached to the back of it.

Rinspeed’s press release about the vehicle gives many more details about the concept car, which the company plans to debut at CES in a few weeks.

A drone that deploys from a moving car, retractable steering wheel, drone landing pad, Gorilla Glass-covered LED lights, electronic message board/visual dancefloor, home battery activation, a tip station, and suicide doors might be a little much.

I love the optimism from Rinspeed in the car’s design, but some of the features are a bit outlandish. I mean just a tad…
