Opel has shown off a new electric car concept called the Experimental. It’s a sneak peek of what cars from the company might look like in the future. The big company behind Opel, called Stellantis, is backing this new idea.
The car’s aerodynamic shape makes the vehicle way more efficient
The Experimental concept will be on display for everyone to see at the IAA Mobility show in Munich in September. It’s built on the Stellantis BEV platform, which sounds similar to the STLA platform. The car has all-wheel drive, and its steering wheel can hide away when you don’t need it. Size-wise, it’s a bit smaller than a Tesla Model Y but about the same as the upcoming electric Opel Grandland.
Opel’s CEO, Florian Huettl, said the Experimental shows where Opel is headed in terms of design and technology. A cool feature is that the car doesn’t use any chrome. Instead, it has lights and graphics that make it stand out. The front has an Opel logo that lights up and long headlights. At the back, there are thin tail lights.
The car has features that make it move smoothly through the air, which helps save battery power. It has special tires made from recycled rubber, and the wheels are designed to further help with air movement. Inside, the car feels big and spacious. This is because of light seats, the hideaway steering wheel, and a clean design. Instead of regular screens, information is shown using a kind of 3D display above the dashboard. Also, instead of side mirrors, the car uses cameras.
Opel hasn’t given details about how powerful the car is or how far it can go on a single charge. But, what’s clear is that the Experimental is a hint at what Opel’s future electric vehicles might be like.
