Sleek, sculpted and precise – the Ampera features Vauxhall's award-winning design language – plus a dramatic splash of the Flextreme and GTC Concept show cars. In the front, the dramatic, boomerang-like headlights instantly catch the eye, flowing seamlessly into the lower fog lights.

The car has a dynamic, almost aggressive low stance. The bold new Vauxhall logo is emblazoned on the front grill and the chrome bar across the back. The unique Pearl White Diamond colour with matching rocker panels and rear bumper underline the dynamic look of the Ampera.

Sleek aerodynamics help maximise the driving range and lower emissions. Engineers and designers have worked hand in hand to ensure a maximum of aerodynamic efficiency, so the airflow around the front fascia and outside mirrors has been optimised. Vertical slots in the outboard edges of the rear bumper give the car a low sporty look and support its highly efficient aerodynamic performance by creating a clean separation feature for the air.

Lightweight materials have been used throughout:
such as the clear polycarbonate covers on the front grille and the disk inserts on the 17-inch, five-spoke sport alloy wheels.
This also helps to reduce aerodynamic drag in critical airflow areas.
