We don’t really know what to make of the innovative yet a bit to futuristic concepts that made there presence felt in Frankfurt last week. The Audi model was a bit too out there, with its carbon fiber wheels and roadster configuration, but Opel/Vauxhall’s RAK e actually looked good on paper.
Autocar reports that Vauxhall-Opel boss Nick Reilly has called the two-seater a “very serious concept”. GM’s European division is considering whether to start making plans to put it into production and market it for about £9000, which is just over €10,300 or about $14,100 at the current exchange rates.

The concept was actually put together “with production in mind”. “We want to show it to a few governments and see if they're serious about EVs,” he says.

We like the little RAK e, but it could also be sold as a sort of hybrid with big scooter engines instead of expensive EV components.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
