Vauxhall Ampera

The order books are now open.....

The world is changing, and with it our way of thinking - about the environment, sustainability and mobility. It is time for a new mobility concept: the revolutionary new Vauxhall Ampera. It is an Extended-Range Electric Vehicle powered by technology we call Voltec. It's different than other advanced propulsion systems - it uses electricity to drive the car's wheels at all times and speeds. And since the average UK driver drives 25 miles or less a day, we designed the Ampera to travel 25-50 miles on battery power alone. To do this, we had to create the cutting-edge, 16-kWh, lithium-ion battery that is the heart of the Ampera. But what happens when the battery runs low?

Sleek, sculpted and precise - the Ampera features Vauxhall's award-winning design language - plus a dramatic splash of the Flextreme and GTC Concept show cars. In the front, the dramatic, boomerang-like headlights instantly catch the eye, flowing seamlessly into the lower fog lights.

The Ampera produces 150 horsepower and propels the Ampera from 0 to 60 miles in under nine seconds with a limited top speed of 100 mph.

With the Vauxhall Ampera, we will be the first European automobile manufacturer to provide customers with 310 miles of extended-range electric driving. When the battery runs low a small petrol engine generator starts up - the Range Extender.

You'll be surprised how much fun electric driving can be.
