Opel has a great introduction for hitting the stage at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, but the most significant is the smooth Monza Concept. Refreshing the Monza name, Opel says this concept will motivate future models for the brand but between the styling technology and powertrain. This isn't clear which of these will make it to production. We're hoping for all of the above.
At its core, the i8 combines Twin Power Turbo and eDrive technology that results in a car that produces 362 horsepower, goes from 0 to 62 mph in 4.4 seconds, and gets 94 mpg. The striking body is made up of lightweight elements such as carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic, aluminum, and magnesium panels.
The Monza Concept instead uses the dashboard surface and combines it with 18 LED projectors, creating an adaptable and customizable multi-function display that stretches from door to door. This will provide typical important driving information and will also be the source for internet and communication functions. The whole setup can be individually configured and will work via voice commands and steering wheel control inputs.
