The Rinspeed Yello Talbo is a Swiss sports car produced in association with Dieter Meier and Boris Blank of the eclectic electronic group Yello.[1] It debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in 1996.[2]
The car has nostalgic design cues, taking inspiration from designs of the late 1930s, and more specifically taking inspiration from a 1938 Talbot-Lago SS by Figoni & Falaschi.[3] The Yello Talbo is powered by a supercharged 5.0L V8-engine producing 320 hp (239 kW) and coupled to an automatic gearbox.[4] This allows it to accelerate from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 5.5 seconds.[5]
