Opel - Flextreme


Our today’s post is about Opel’s hot product called Flextreme… It boasts the body of a dynamic monocab, as well as the completely new environmentally friendly E-Flex electric propulsion concept and a host of innovative details. Flextreme is part of GM’s ongoing commitment to develop vehicles that reduce CO2 emissions and the automobile’s dependency on petroleum. In contrast to conventional vehicles and hybrids, GM’s E-Flex system uses an electric motor, powered by a lithium-ion battery, to propel the Opel Flextreme concept for up to 55 km of electric-drive-only range.
A 1.3 turbo-diesel onboard engine generates additional electricity to replenish the battery and extend the vehicle’s driving range fully charged; the Flextreme’s 55-km all-electric driving range is enough for most daily commuters in Europe to travel without using any diesel fuel or emitting any CO2.
The Flextreme takes the new design language debuted in the GTC Coupe at the Geneva Motor Show several steps further. With the rear-hinged back doors that enable comfortable access to the interior, a large transparent roof and two tailgate doors that open from the side and swing upwards, the concept car embodies Opel’s tradition of particularly flexible and practical body concepts with attractive designs. This also includes the FlexLoad’s additional under floor luggage compartment the latest in a series of innovative Opel solutions such as the Zafira’s seating system.
A clever storage system at the front and back of the center tunnel offer brand-typical flexibility. Front and rear passengers can stow items such as mobile phones, MP3 players, i Pods and PDAs in two drawers. The best part: the electrical devices are recharged in the drawers by induction and Blue tooth-capable systems can transmit their data to the on board infotainment system.
Thus it really makes the users, to love the car… It is really so hot and cool to drive. So have a one for you…
