Seems like General Motors and Opel have decided to finally get there act together a bit.  Finally deciding to act on the demands of consumers by providing a viable fuel-saving vehicle that could save many a motorist precious little Benjamins (or Euros).  Enter the 2011 Opel Ampera, which is so revolutionary that it’s probably the most viable electric car… wait, another electric car!? What is it with this whole electric thing anyway, ever since the 90’s some company keeps coming up with one that’s suppose to revolutionize the industry.  So does the aptly named Ampera (see, it’s a pun! Amp! electricty!) succeed where many have failed (miserably) before?

So the Chevy Volt-based Ampera boasts of this thing called Voltec technology which basically means you get more mileage-per-juice (did we just invent a new unit of measurement?) which has been the downfall of electric cars ever since the damn things were invented.  Basically, you get 60 km from the car’s lithium-ion battery, which ain’t bad.  But what’s interesting is that this baby is self-charging, or rather will be charged by the combustion engine. Probably that characteristic effectively qualifies it as a hybrid. Exciting no? Well, now that you know that the Ampera is supercharged to drive… the question is, what does this five-door four-seater have in store on the inside? It’s got to be something majore right?

Right?

Wait, that’s it?

So the Opel Ampera, for all it’s electricity-ness has absolutely nothing to say about the interior? Fine. We’ll bite.  Despite all the focus on this here EE-LEK-TRAW-NIKS, Opel has little or nothing to say about the interior other than the renders.  That’s all well and good, since when did those car makers ever focus on interiors (which explains the lack of decent updates lately) but come on! Really GM, Opel? Nothing?  Sure it’s nice, but it’s just render, nevermind that the red accents on the door is a nice touch, but that’s it?

You know what? Nevermind, granted the 2011 Opel Ampera will be in official production 2 years from now, we can probably wait a little bit more to find out what “The Most Electrifying Euro Car”  has in store inside.  Rest assured we’ll try to be there when that update comes.
