  • Vauxhall Monza Concept at Frankfurt Motor Show

    Vauxhall has published some pictures of their Monza Concept, which is expected to make its official debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. The futuristic vehicle boasts cutting-edge LED projection infotainment and an evolution of the Ampera’s revolutionary powertrain.

    The Monza is a 4-seater concept 4,690 mm long, 1,310 mm tall and has been modeled after “ocean waves lapping on the shore”. It also has a lot of headroom and a generous cargo capacity of 500 liters. The gullwing doors help getting inside easily.

    The interior features a wide and sculpted dashboard that extends from one door to the other which is used as a single projection surface. There are 18 LEDs creating the multi-functional display showing information and decorative elements.

    Vauxhall Monza is powered by an electric drive with a compressed natural gas (CNG) range extender. The three-cylinder 1.0 liter SIDI turbo has been modified to run on natural gas giving even better results in fuel economy.

    “The Monza Concept represents the Opel/Vauxhall car of tomorrow. On one hand, it embodies everything that already characterises Opel/Vauxhall – precision engineering combined with innovative technologies wrapped in captivating design. In addition, it addresses the themes that will be the development-focus of the next generation of Opel/Vauxhall cars: maximum connectivity and optimum efficiency.” ,” commented Dr. Karl-Thomas Neumann, Opel/Vauxhall CEO.

  • EXCLUSIVE: Opel Teases Monza Concept [VIDEO]

    Opel-Monza-Concept-THUMBOpel and Vauxhall are going to unveil their new exclusive concept called Monza at the Frankfurt Motor Show this September. However, they have just teased the car with exclusive images and a video, which gives a glimpse over the innovative design of the Monza.

    In the video, the concept is unveiled by Karl-Thomas Neumann, who states that this vehicle represents a vision of the company’s future and will set the beginning of the next generation of Opel/Vauxhall vehicles.

    The new conpcept focuses on two major points: efficiency and connectivity. Both are expected to be the top priorities for all working on the next-generation models. This means that the Monza demonstrates rxcellent efficiency through its architecture and use of materials.

    In addition, it features outstanding aerodynamics and ground-breaking powertrain solution. The connectivity point is covered by the possibilities offered by the new infotainment systems included. On the other hand, in terms of exterior, the Cr expresses a sense of lithe athleticism, rather than pure muscle power.

    The front of the vehicle impresses the viewer with its low stance, flowing lines, clearly defined bonnet and striking headlamp treatment. The additionally developed signature Vauxhall themes are embedded in the overall look. For example, the typical crease on the bonnet now has a more three-dimensional look.

    On the other hand, the chrome grille bar, on which can be seen the logo of the brand, sweeps up with winglets at its tips. Additionally, there are also added two characteristic blades under the headlamps. All this results in a light, athletic look of the concept, which also conveys efficiency, excitement and driving fun.

    Although there are no additional details released yet, Neumann says that the interior design of Monza Concept will include trend-setting technologies which will change the driving experience once and for all. Moreover, he adds that the innovative body design and perfect proportions will “turn heads”.
