The shape of things to come?

A concept car from Vauxhall – the Flextreme – has been selected for the prestigious ‘red dot’ award by an international jury. The international red dot design award ranks among the largest and most renowned design prizes in the world and is awarded to the best design concept “that has the power to improve our world in the future”.
The Vauxhall Flextreme has rear-hinged ‘Flex doors’ that enable easy access to the interior. It also has a large transparent roof and twin tailgate doors that open from the side and swing upward.
The concept car features GM’s innovative extended-range electric vehicle technology system. An electric motor, powered by a lithium-ion battery, propels the Vauxhall Flextreme for up to 55 km on electric-drive-only. A 1.3 turbo-diesel onboard engine operates as a range extender and is used to drive an electric generator when the battery’s energy has been depleted. The range extender is able to generate additional electricity to power the car for hundreds of additional kilometres.
Red dot awards have in the past been made to a wide range of designs from kitchen gadgets to electronic devices and including brands such as Apple and Nokia. It’s certain that cars like this will become firm favourites for car leasing in the future.

Astra Shakedown Video

Vauxhall Astra leasing and excitement don’t typically go together. However, there’s an exclusive video of the new Astra being tested at the Nurburgring on the C4 web site:

It’s worth a look – they reckon it’s set to challenge the Ford Focus.
