Even though they unveiled Viva Rocks, the company is more focused on the new Ampera-e electric car, which is also premiered in Paris. This electric car will be sold by Vauxhall's sister company Opel. The electric car is claimed to have a pure electrical range of 498 kilometres without needing a recharge.

Vauxhall chairman Rory Harvey says, "Vauxhall is committed to having a future EV presence in its range. The technology which underpins the new Ampera-e is of great interest to us, and we will be evaluating LHD cars from next spring and demonstrating them to clients.

"The fact that Ampera-e is not an eco-luxury or second car for customers broadens its appeal greatly, but it's obviously vital that the car we sell in our market is right-hand-drive, and that won't be available in the current generation."
