The motors can propel the vehicle to a top speed of 125mph and a 0-60mph time of under nine seconds. The vehicle\u2019s onboard batteries are good for a range of 40 miles, after which a small 1.4-liter 4-cyclinder engine kicks in to act as a generator.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.instablogsimages.com\/images\/2010\/02\/19\/opel-flextreme-gte_2_GllWL_69.jpg\" alt=\"opel flextreme gte_2\"\/><\/p>\n<p>With the generator the vehicle\u2019s range is extended to 300 miles with a fuel efficiency of 175mpg. The exterior design of the Flextreme GT\/E has been dedicated for maximum aerodynamic efficiency. At speeds above 30mph, a vertical panel extends along the body from the air extraction slot behind each rear wheel-arch, to guide high-speed airflow around the rear corners of the car to further reduce turbulence.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.instablogsimages.com\/images\/2010\/02\/19\/opel-flextreme-gte_3_aQrOW_69.jpg\" alt=\"opel flextreme gte_3\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.instablogsimages.com\/images\/2010\/02\/19\/opel-flextreme-gte_4_F8Oe4_69.jpg\" alt=\"opel flextreme gte_4\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.instablogsimages.com\/images\/2010\/02\/19\/opel-flextreme-gte_5_34L8w_69.jpg\" alt=\"opel flextreme gte_5\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.instablogsimages.com\/images\/2010\/02\/19\/opel-flextreme-gte_6_gXQs9_69.jpg\" alt=\"opel flextreme gte_6\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Via: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diseno-art.com\/encyclopedia\/concept_cars\/opel_flextreme_gte.html\">Diseno-Art<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eco Factor: Low-emission car powered by a hybrid engine.
