Opel RAK e Concept 2011
The Opel RAK e Concept opens a new chapter in electric mobility and extends Opel’s pioneering role in alternative propulsion systems. The radical RAK e is defined by minimal energy costs, 100 kilometers for one euro, one third of the weight of a modern small car, and a maximum speed of 120 km/h.
The name “RAK e” recalls the pioneering spirit inspired by Fritz von Opel and his revolutionary rocket-powered car in the last century.
The RAK e has cool looks and production-potential. In future, efficiency will be measured in euros, not liters per 100 km; today we are pleased to present our “1 euro car”, said Karl-Friedrich Stracke, Opel CEO, at the world premiere in Frankfurt.
The development objectives – dynamic performance, low mass and optimum efficiency coupled with maximum simplicity – are reflected in the appearance.
Subject to local laws, even 16-year-olds could begin their driving careers in the Opel RAK e, by limiting the top speed to 45 km/h.
