New Opel Ampera-e
Opel Ampera-e will debut
at the upcoming “Mondial de l’Automobile” in Paris, after the car was first announced
in February.
Since both the Ampera-E and the Chevrolet Bolt will be identical, don’t expect too many differences
between it and its American counterpart, as the new Ampera-E will only sport a
revised front fascia. In fact, “revised” is a strong word in this case, as the
badges and the turning signals will be the only differences between these cars.
The new supermini-sized Ampera-e should come with the
same 203 PS and 360 Nm of torque motor, capable of
transforming every standing start and every motorway entry into an impromptu
display of performance.
That’s because the compact car sprints
to 50 km/h in only 3.2 seconds, and accelerates from 80 to 120 km/h in just 4.5 seconds. Opel even showcased the Ampera-e’s
performance in a video, by pitting it against an Astra TCR and an Opel Adam R2
over a 30-meter drag race.
Anyway, even though the Ampera-e is good
enough for a 0-100 km/h time of around 7 seconds, it also has a claimed
driving range of more than 322 km on a single 9-hour charge.
The new Opel Ampera-e will be the German
brand’s sole electric car offering.
