New Vauxhall Ampera
New Vauxhall Ampera
The nearly silent Voltec electric drive unit delivers 370Nm of instant torque and a top speed of 100 mph. Vauxhall's revolutionary technology uses electricity as its primary power cource and petrol as a secondary power source to generate electricity.
The Vauxhall Ampera represents a whole new category of electric driving. In conventional hybrids the wheels are turned by an internal combustion engine, an electric motor, or both. In practise, hybrid vehicles require both sources - engine and battery - to provide full vehicle performance capability. An extended range electric vehicle (E-REV) like the Ampera is different from a hybrid or plug-in hubrid in that the vehicle's wheels are always propelled by an electric drive unit. The Ampera does not need to use fuel while driving within the 40-mile battery range.

The lithium ion battery can be charged from a 230v socket in 3 hours and has a range of up to 40 miles delivering zero tailpipe emissions. For longer journeys, unlike other Electric Vehicles (EV's), there is no need to worry about range, as the 1.4ltr combustion engine can let you drive for up to 310 miles. The engine powers the battery, so the wheels are driven by the electric motor at all times.
Electrifying Looks
The Vauxhall Ampera's sleek aerodynamics contribute to emission free battery powered driving. No sacrifices for driver or passengers: the Ampera offers the space, comfort, and convenience of a modern car with five doors, four seats and a storage capacity of 300 litres.
Dramatic, boomerang-like headlights seamlessly integrate with the lower fog lights. The car has a dynamic low stance seen most prominently in the front and tail. The bold new Vauxhall Griffin logo is emblazoned on the front grill and the chrome bar across the back.
New high quality and high-tech materials set the tone inside the Vauxhall Ampera. It has good all-around vision, a driver-focused cockpit, ample space, head and legroom for 4 adults and basic luggage volume of over 300 litres. The interior decor features a unique jetblack design combined with Spice Red accents and Dark Argent Metallic paint on the instrument panel's centre stack.
