The Opel is the third of three urban mobility concepts on show in Frankfurt. While the VW Nils follows a spare, glider-like product aesthetic and the Audi Urban Concept has a minature race car feel, the Opel is more like the kind of thing one might expect when someone mentions the words ‘urban’, ‘mobility’ and ‘concept together in the same sentence. Developed with Kiska, there are some clever, logical elements to its design. We were particularly impressed with the interior package and layout. But as a vision of the future of mobility, its aesthetic is a little too reminiscent of projects we’ve been seeing in this space for the last 10 years or so.
While we’ve already had a brief encounter with BMW new ‘i’ cars 3 and 8, this is the first time we’ve had a chance to have a good poke around the electric B-sector i3 and i8 hybrid supercar.
We’ve just had a long chat with BMW Design Director, Adrian van Hooydonk during which he gave CDN a quick tour of the i3.
