Opel RAK e Concept (2011) Car

Energy costs, efficiency and lightweight design are in the spotlight at the 64th Frankfurt International Motor Show. Opel is staking a strong claim for the center of attention with an all-new battery-powered electric vehicle. The Opel RAK e Concept opens a new chapter in electric mobility and extends Opel's pioneering role in alternative propulsion systems. The radical RAK e is defined by minimal energy costs, 100 kilometers for one euro, one third of the weight of a modern small car, and a maximum speed of 120 km/h.

"We want to develop electric vehicles that everyone can afford. The range-extending concept of the Ampera demonstrates our leadership in electrification of the automobile, the Opel RAK e experimental vehicle aims to deliver pricing that even younger customers can afford. The RAK e has cool looks and production-potential. In future, efficiency will be measured in euros, not liters per 100 km; today we are pleased to present our "1 euro car", said Karl-Friedrich Stracke, Opel CEO, at the world premiere in Frankfurt.

The lightweight concept of the Opel RAK e is based on a steel space-frame structure beneath a skin of conventional synthetic material. This allows a high level of safety as well as affordable pricing. Opel deliberately avoids the use of expensive composite materials in its lightweight-design philosophy, in order to make electric mobility affordable for as many people as possible.

The name "RAK e" recalls the pioneering spirit inspired by Fritz von Opel and his revolutionary rocket-powered car in the last century. In 1928 RAK 2 catapulted the grandson of company-founder Adam Opel to a top speed of 228 km/h. The "e" not only stands for electric, but also takes up again the idea of ground-breaking experimental vehicles.
"The RAK e is inspired by our wealth of experience in the area of electro-mobility, above all by the Ampera"; explains Mark Adams, Vice President Design. "This progressive concept is creating a new class of electric vehicle; this is what future mobility with 'my first e-Opel' could look like. We are eager to see the reaction of visitors to the show."
Design: Connecting Fun and Functionality

The potential of the spectacular experimental vehicle is reflected in the innovative design. The bodywork is made of fully recyclable synthetic material; the tandem two-seat passenger compartment is reminiscent of glider. Thanks to the large cockpit canopy, the driver and passenger enjoy a feeling of spaciousness and all-around visibility. The front seat, steering column and armrests automatically tip forward to enable easy-entry; remote control via smart phone enhances the optical effect of this action. The pedals and the steering wheel adjust to the size of the driver.

The sporty character of the two-seater is underlined by visible chassis components, such as the wheel-integrated front disk brakes and the motorbike-derived rear swing-arm. The rear wheels enhance agility with a tread width of only 600 mm.

Mitsubishi i MiEV SPORT AIR Reviews,Specs,Features and Pics

Mitsubishi i MiEV SPORT AIR concept has been unveiled in Geneva Motor Show after its previous announcement that was announced at the end of last year. Powered by a 60 kWelectric motor, Mitsubishi i MiEV SPORT AIR may develops 230 Nm of torque and reach its top speed at 200 km/h.

Mitsubishi i MiEV SPORT AIR comes equipped with the semi-transparent lightweight composite roof panel that can be removed without compromising the structural integrity of the coupe.

Mitsubishi i MiEV SPORT AIR offers an excellent occupant protection with featuring an aluminum space frame in combination with the RISE (Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution) body from the company.

Mitsubishi i MiEV SPORT AIR - Tech look

A joint effort between Mitsubishi Motors design studios in Okazaki (exterior), Okazaki and Cypress, California (interior) as well as Tokyo (execution), the zero CO2 emission i MiEV SPORT AIR concept is a relative to the acclaimed and equally zero CO2 emission 2007 i MiEV Sport show car.

Longer (+ 20 cm) and taller (+ 12 cm), it trades the cheeky look of its predecessor for a more technical approach of its teardrop shape: from the clamshell effect of its deep(er) windshield + diminutive bonnet to the shaper shape of its front end – complete with an inverted Jet Fighter “grille”, or the flush glazing over the B-pillar.

Details, such as the (more) robust looking three-spoke alloy wheels, the squared-off mirrors, the LED front lighting and side repeaters contribute to that look.

Appropriately for an EV, a semi-transparent embedded solar panel is used on the bonnet and “clear cutaway” roof panel, while the “printed circuit board” motif continues inside, highlighting points inside the cabin.

Mitsubishi i MiEV SPORT AIR - Air

Whilst several variants of i MiEV Sport have been sketched internally (all the way to a wacky mini pickup !…), the 2009 i MiEV SPORT AIR concept is a more tangible proposition with its removable clear roof panel over its polyamide and polyphenylene ether body panels.

Made of semi-transparent lightweight composite, the “clear cutaway” roof panel allows open air driving whilst retaining the structural integrity of the coupé.

Mitsubishi i MiEV SPORT AIR - Sky blue

i MiEV SPORT AIR’s color & trim follows a “Japanese Technology” theme, combining the approachable image and the high-tech spirit of environmentally-friendly devices:

The blue exterior color evokes the openness of clear blue skies, while the use of a pearl finish effect gives a bluish sheen to the body highlights the car’s eco-friendly image.

Inside, the mesh “ventilaio” trim uses a high-contrast color scheme of greyish blue and “grege” (an intermediate color between grey and beige). With the use of blue illumination for the instruments and interior lighting this two-tone scheme imparts an advanced and high-tech look to the cabin while at the same time producing a relaxing and reassuring atmosphere. Mitsubishi’s proprietary Green Plastics are used for the carpeting, the seat back panels and side covers

Indeed, i MiEV SPORT AIR offers a welcoming ambience to create a comfortable and restful space. The wrap-around cockpit design, on the other hand, is styled to alert the driver to the high performance potential of the car the moment he sits behind the wheel.

The major controls and switches are all ergonomically grouped around the shift dial - with additional controls subsumed into a single touch-panel display - making for more positive location and operation by the driver.

Mitsubishi i MiEV SPORT AIR - Cab forward

A sports car of a new kind, i MiEV SPORT AIR also presents an unusual and very aerodynamic teardrop-shaped profile and cab forward proportions making the best use of its 255 mm wheelbase over an overall diminutive length of 365 mm.

Just as for the forthcoming production i MiEV, this generous wheelbase put the 175/50 R 17 wheels at each corner for the sake of driving dynamics and - in conjunction of the rear-midship layout - an optimum use of the available interior space for 4 passengers (2+2 seating).

It also provides an ideal location for the lithium-ion battery pack: located under the floor, the 200 kg pack allows for a very low center of gravity, for stability and balance but also for passive safety.

The powertrain components - including the motor and inverter - are arranged beneath the luggage compartment. As such - together with the aluminum rear suspension – they contribute to a good weight distribution (50% front – 50% rear).

Mitsubishi i MiEV SPORT AIR - Space frame

An aluminum space frame - a combination of aluminum extrusions and aluminum die casting - is light, rigid and strong, helping to improving performance by minimizing weight (940 kg).

The optimum layout of structural members, including front-side and cross members, efficiently absorbs crash energy in the event of front-end or side collision.

In a collision from the rear, the EV components located under the back seat and rear floor serve as a barrier to ensure the integrity of the passenger compartment.

By making use of i MiEV’s rear-midship layout and utilizing Mitsubishi’s latest RISE (Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution) body, i MiEV SPORT AIR realizes excellent occupant protection in collisions from any direction, even when colliding with a vehicle of different height or weight.

Mitsubishi i MiEV SPORT AIR - Pocket rocket

Pointing to the direction a realistic Mitsubishi sports EV may take in the future, i MiEV SPORT AIR turns EV characteristics into (baby) sports car assets, all with the eerie silence, fluency and stress-free driving of electric cars.

In particular, it uses a more powerful version of i MiEV’s permanent magnet synchronouselectric motor for even faster standing and passing accelerations – an EV trademark - than the standard i MiEV with 60 kW (82 ps) and 230 Nm:

i MiEV i MiEV SPORT AIR i MiEV Sport
Power 47 kW 60 kW Front: 20kW x 2 / Rear: 47kW
Torque 180 Nm 230 Nm Front: 250 Nm x 2 / Rear: 180 Nm
Max. speed (Where legal) 130 km/h (Governed) 200 km/h 180 km/h
Range(Japanese cycle) 160 km 200 km 200 km

Last but not least, i MiEV SPORT AIR offers another more down-to-earth approach to powertrain with a single motor powering the rear wheels, exactly as the forthcoming production i MiEV and as opposed to the more conceptual solutions forecasted with the 2007 i MiEV Sport (2 in-wheel motor at the front + 1 single motor at the rear + E-4WD + E-AYC + S-AWC).
