vLike most Saturns these days the Flextreme Concept originated in Germany as the Opel Flextreme concept in Frankfurt. Built on GM's E-Flex architecture (Chevy Volt, Caddy Provoq), this one boasts 34 miles of emissions-free electric driving, drawing energy from a lithium-ion battery that recharges at home in three hours. Beyond that range, a 1.3-liter clean turbo-diesel engine kicks in spinning a generator to power the car for up to 444 miles. The sleek body features rear-hinged rear half-doors with no B-pillar and butterfly tailgate doors that open upward along the central axis of the body for access in tight quarters. And don't forget the Segway storage underneath the rear bodywork.
