The Vauxhall Flextreme Hits 125 MPH While Getting 175 MPG
Michael Hines — February 21, 2010 — Autos
Vauxhall wants to change the way you think about hybrid cars with their new Vauxhall Flextreme. The Flextreme is an awesome eco-car with some serious surprises.
The most surprising thing about the Vauxhall Flextreme is the fact that it shape-shifts at certain speeds. When the car goes above 30 MPH a vertical panel extends along the body and behind the wheels to make the car have more drag co-efficient.
The Vauxhall Flextreme is electric powered, even the wheels, with a small gas engine that is used to extend driving range. This all sounds good to me. Hopefully we see the Vauxhall Flextreme in the States soon.
