The quadricycles come fitted with a single electric motor producing 8 hp (6 kW / 8 PS), and a 5.5 kWh lithium-ion battery.
Last but not least, the carbon fiber rear wing is sourced from the Vectra GTS V8 DTM racecar and looks gigantic for the vehicle’s size.ĭespite the extreme visual and chassis modifications, the company didn’t mention any power upgrades over the stock Opel Rocks Electric which is nothing more but a rebadged Citroen Ami. Speaking of lighting, the Rocks e-Xtreme traded the Citroen Ami-sourced units for sleeker LEDs and adopted the Opel Visor treatment. The “bright yellow roll-over hoop” provides an extra feeling of safety to the occupants while serving as a base for the roof-mounted LEDs.
Despite the use of chunky fender flares, there’s no way to cover the wildly wider tracks, making the little Rocks look like a cartoon car. The highlight of course is the protruding wheels shod in all-terrain tires, which are combined with an overhauled suspension offering an increased ground clearance. The team stayed true to the 3D model, paying attention to every single detail and making it happen with the help of 3D printing.
Honoring the unanimous decision of the “selected specialist audience”, Opel took on the challenge, taking the humble Rocks Electric to the e-Xtreme.

Fast forward to December 2022, the 3D model won the #OpelDesignHack competition, with the price being its transition from the digital world to reality. The Opel Rocks e-Xtreme was created by design student Lukas Wenzhöfer, who shared it online just one week after the debut of the production-spec heavy quadricycle in September 2021.
