2009 Opel Ampera Concept

Auto Car | 2009 Opel Ampera Concept | The 2009 Opel Ampera Concept is the newest addition to the extended range of electric vehicles. It boasts of the formerly known E-Flex now known as Voltec feature. This auto will have the 16-k Wh battery pack which will power a 161-horsepower electric motor.

The Ampera is however unique as it can run solely using lithium-ion batteries for about 40 miles and the move on for another 300 miles powered by electricity alone which would be generated by a four-cylinder gasoline engine. With a charging time of only three hours using a standard 220-bolt outlet this would be great running time.

Just like the Volt, the 2009 Opel Ampera Concept will be a four-seater auto with five doors. It will however be more aggressive with bigger wheels and large D-shaped grooves. The appearance of the Ampera is understandable considering that GM has to recoup its Voltec technology investment. Europe will get first bite of the auto in 20111 while the United Kingdom will get the car by 2012.
