Design student Lukas Wenzhöfer came up with the Opel Rocks E-Xtreme electric vehicle concept for the ‘Rocks-e Design Hack’ contest, and now, it’s set to become a reality. This all-terrain vehicle features outward facing wheels for a more secure stance, while a double wishbone suspension up front keeps things stable.
Out back, there’s a large spoiler to keep the vehicle planted in turns, but the design was kept simple to offer pure driving fun off the track. There’s no word on the exact battery and motor setup it uses, although Opel will build at least one vehicle. Pricing and availability have yet to be announced.
- Speed & Range: The Gokart PRO reaches 23 mph and has a 15.5-mile range on one charge.
- Powerful Performance: Features a rear-wheel drive with 4,800W power and 96N torque for quick acceleration.
- Safety First: Built with a high-strength steel frame, supports up to 220 lbs, and includes triple anti-collision protection.
The many extraordinary design drafts for the Opel Rocks-e show how our innovative all-electric quadricycle inspires – all over the world! The huge interest and the unique ideas prove the potential of electric mobility and small, agile entry-level models. The Rocks-e offers locally emission-free driving fun with wow factor already from the age of 151. We congratulate Lukas Wenzhöfer and at the same time thank all the Design Hack participants for their great creativity and commitment,” said Florian Huettl, Opel CEO.
