Rinspeed zaZen

The Rinspeed zaZen is a tuned Porsche concept developed by Rinspeed and Bayer MaterialScience that appears in Asphalt 8: Airborne.

Overview
The breathtakingly designed vehicle concept was born at the Swiss engineering specialists, Esoro, from one single vision and many imaginative ideas. The entire roof dome down to the belt line is made of Bayer's transparent Makrolon® polycarbonate. A glass-clear elastic sealant from Revoflex AG has been used to achieve an optimum joint with the body. The striking hardtop is light in both senses of the word. Not only does it appear to float airily above the rather chunky body, it is also weighs many kilograms less than glass – not that it would be possible to make it from glass in the first place.

The “zaZen”, which weighs 1,495 kg, is powered by a 355 bhp 6-cylinder boxer engine from the Porsche 997 Carrera S. It has a top speed of 293 kph and accelerates from 0 to 100 kph in exactly 4.8 sec. Should the “zaZen” be built in a small series at some time in the future, Rinspeed will consider – in line with its tradition – offering it with an environmentally friendly natural gas propulsion system.

At 6,600 rpm, the engine has a maximum torque of 400 Nm, which is transmitted to the rear axle via a manual six-speed transmission. The necessary traction is provided by Dunlop tires with Touch Technology (245/30-20 at the front and 305/25-20 at the rear), mounted on lightweight Rinspeed five-spoke rims (8.5 x 20” at the front and 11 x 20” at the rear) made by CW Fahrzeugtechnik (Borbet Group).

Asphalt 8: Airborne
The Rinspeed zaZen made its first appearance at the Monkey's Year Update. It's cup was released February 15-20, 2016.

The acceleration is good, but its efficient and powerful nitro helps it accelerate very fast. It has the most efficient nitro in the game. The handling is good for the car, weighing 1,495 kg. Top speed is very low for the car, even lower than an Audi R8 LMS Ultra at stock.

Strangely, when playing Multiplayer, it is very strong despite its low speed. It could even defeat the Mercedes-Benz Biome, the Range Rover Evoque Coupe HSE Dynamic and rarely, the Shelby Cobra 427. It's nitro, handling and acceleration makes it a good MP car.

The zaZen costs to buy.
