Probably Rinspeed.

Suspect Bayer helped to develop the plastic, maybe even enviro friendly like bio plastic.

Looks like a two cylinder engine, no doubt running some sort of eco fuel.

That was quick - give that man a cigar - or better a beer.

World premiere at the Geneva Motor Show 2007

"Glass" concept car to mark Rinspeed's 30th birthday - 40 years after Bayer's first "all-plastic" car

eXasis - Glass-free transparency

Zumikon / Leverkusen – "There's never been anything like it" were the words used in the online edition of an acclaimed international news magazine to describe its editor's reaction when the first sketches of the new Rinspeed concept car, "eXasis", appeared on the Internet, "and it looks like no other vehicle before it". In fact, the illustrations could only hint at what Swiss automotive visionary Frank M. Rinderknecht had thought up in collaboration with the experts from Bayer MaterialScience AG – one of the largest plastics producers in the world – ­to mark his company's 30th anniversary: a drivable "glass" car with a completely transparent body and floor made of Makrolon®. Once again, this Rinspeed creation has been built by the Swiss engineering specialists Esoro, and will be shown to the public for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show (March 8-18, 2007), 40 years after Bayer presented the first "all-plastic car" at the K67 Plastics Fair in Germany in 1967.
