The Opel Rocks e-xtreme has won an Opel design contest and the brand has decided to make a copy of this radical transformation.
vauxhall will produce a single example of the Rocks e-xtremea rather radical transformation of the Rocks-e quad, cousin of the Citroën Ami, which has been designed by a student,
It all started a few months ago when the German brand launched a campaign through social networks in which he asked his fans to design his final variant of the small electric quadricycle.
The winning design of the contest, dubbed Rocks-e Design Hack, was that of Lukas Wenzhofera student at the School of Design at the University of Pforzheim (Germany), who proposed the Rocks e-xtreme.
The Rocks e-xtreme bets on off road driving
As you can see in the images, this concept stands out for its widened wheel arches, its wheels shod with all-terrain tires, its roll cage and its excessive rear wing. A ideal design to tackle off-road driving for youngstersAlthough the spoiler is a bit too much for us, considering that the Opel Rocks-e barely has a top speed of 45 km/h.
It stands out, although it cannot be seen with the naked eye, its raised double wishbone suspension system that mounts adaptive shock absorbers for each wheel, which allows greater stability depending on the needs of the terrain.
Are cars without a license safe?
“The Opel Rocks-e allows young people to be mobile and enjoy an unfiltered driving experience“, explained the 26-year-old designer. «My concept takes these points and takes them to the extreme. Off-road capability promotes the feeling of freedom to reach any destination. And the increased sportiness promises more driving fun to show that electric mobility is more than just a common-sense solution,” added Wenzhöfer.
Returning to the design competition, second place went to Kazuki Sakurai, 26, from Japan, with his “Rocks-e Urban e-Racer Concept”, a concept designed for racing on closed circuits and safe in the city.
