Chevrolet Volt, Opel style

Imagine a Chevrolet Volt with a longer body, and you will found a concept car made by Opel, the Flextreme GT / E, which is scheduled to be on showcase at the Geneva Motor Show this year. Opel wanted to show, how the Chevy Volt electric motors, could also be applied to a larger car, in this case a five-door hatchback car. Because so far, every vehicle is shown by General Motors with ER-EV drivetrain, including the Chevy Volt, Cadillac Converj Ampera and concepts, is considered a compact between the engine and the vehicle body. With attention to aerodynamics, the drag coefficient Flextreme GT / E was able to reach 0.22 lower, despite its body dimensions greater and greater, and the application of 21-inch tires. Aerodynamics are, even still be at increased while at the location of a panel can extend out from the slot extraction of air behind the rear wheel, at speeds above 50 miles per hour. Opel also uses carbon composite panels for his entire body and aluminum for the vehicle structure in order to maintain the weight of the vehicle remained minimal. And to be shot, Flextreme Opel GT / E is supported by electric motors powered 120 kw, with a drive torque that reaches 273 pound-feet, plus a 4-cylinder gasoline engine 1.4-liter capacity as a generator. That way, Flextreme can drive with a travel distance of 37 miles with only rely on electric power of pure, before the generator engines gas giving additional supplies, so distance can reach 311 miles.
