Tell Opel build this Rocks-E real quick!

Tell Opel build this Rocks-E real quick!

Are we a fan of the Opel Rocks-E? Yes, we are fans of the Opel Rocks-E! In the city, the microcar is less useful than you might think, but that doesn’t make it any less charming. Our hearts jumped when we saw this Rocks E-Extreme. Because he’s cool.

Will Opel put it into production? No, of course not, not even as an extremely limited image maker. The car, with its tires sticking out of the wheel arches and the razor-sharp rear spoiler, is too illegal for that. The Rocks E-Extreme is the result of a design competition for young talents and design students.

Lots of comments on the Rocks-E design hack

According to Opel, there was an above-average number of reactions to the Rocks-E design hack. The jury, consisting of Opel CEO Florian Hüttl, Design Director Mark Adams and influencer Jessic Thön, was impressed by the ideas and designs submitted.

Lukas Wenzhöfer, a student at the Pforzheim University of Design, was chosen as the winner.

Opel will build a Rocks E-Xtreme

He transformed the Opel Rocks-E into an electric fun vehicle, the Rocks E-Xtreme. And when we said that Opel will not mass-produce the extremely small car, we have to retract something, because a copy will actually be built (the process can be followed via social media). Opel calls the car a “one-of-a-kind one-off,” but that seems like a tautology to us.

Subcompact derived from the Citroën Ami

The Opel Rocks-E is a derivative of the Citroën Ami, which is not officially delivered in the Netherlands. Both have a 5.5 kWh battery, a range of up to 75 kilometers and a 12 hp electric motor.

Officially, the Rocks-E (and thus also the Ami) is considered a moped. This means that you can drive it with a moped driver’s license (or car driver’s license) from the age of 16.
