The wait for the Opel’s Frankfurt Motor Show surprise concept is almost over as General Motors’ European subsidiary has just published the first photos of the as-of-yet-unnamed study.

The ultra-compact model from GM’s Opel and Vauxhall divisions is very similar in philosophy to Audi’s duo of Urban Concept cars that will also have their world premiere in Germany next week.

The rakish study seats two people in a tandem layout with power being provided by an electric motor and a battery that offer a driving range of around 60 miles (96 kilometers) and a top speed of 75mph (120km/h).

The German automaker says that the unnamed concept “could revolutionise urban transport, especially for younger drivers and those on a very tight budget.”

Surprisingly, despite its futuristic looks and build, Opel states that the concept “has production potential” but will not reveal any more details until the opening of the Frankfurt motor show on September 13.
