VAUXHALL/OPEL TO UNVEIL STRIKING & AFFORDABLE 2-SEAT ELECTRIC CAR AT IAA
* Radical-looking electric car concept ‘has production potential`
* Low-cost to appeal to young/teenage drivers
* 60-mile range
* 75mph top speed
Luton/Russelsheim/Frankfurt - Vauxhall/Opel is to reveal a striking concept with ‘production potential` at this month`s Frankfurt show that could revolutionise urban transport, especially for younger drivers and those on a very tight budget.
A battery-powered electric vehicle, the low, rakish concept will be highly affordable, have a 60-mile range and be capable of 75mph, making even the odd motorway trip feasible.
Yet despite its aesthetic appeal, the concept will be practical, affording two seats in a tandem layout, and its light weight - around a third of a small modern car`s - would allow it to be agile and fun to drive.
Inspired by the Ampera, the concept has the potential to create a new class of light-weight, zero-emissions electric vehicles in the UK and Europe.
