The Saturn Flextreme Plug-in Concept Car
Posted on: September 14th, 2008 by Melissa

Saturn, a division of General Motors, has engineers dedicated to designing concept vehicles just like all of the other major car manufacturers. As is the trend among concept car designers, eco-friendly cars are typically the primary focus. Saturn’s Flextreme Plug-in Concept is a diesel-electric hybrid that has a 34-mile all-electric range with a recharge time of only three hours. Perfect for the shorter daily commute, once you get to work you can plug in your Flextreme and it will be ready for a lunch out with coworkers.
From the official GM press site, “A collaborative effort between Saturn and GM’s European Opel brand, the Flextreme concept was developed to showcase the future design direction of both brands, which share many similar customer traits.†The hybrid concept will operate on a 1.3L turbo-diesel engine when not running in all-electric mode. This engine extends the driving range of the Saturn Flextreme to 444 miles.
