Opel Flextreme GT/E
This General Motors line debuted the Flextreme at the Geneva Motor Show in March as an example of how the Volt's electric drivetrain could be used in a larger vehicle. Carbon-composite and aluminum parts keep weight down, while an aerodynamic shape improves fuel efficiency to get an estimated 147 mpg.
