The Opel Ampera's basically a Chevy Volt wearing a domino mask, and after seeing this first production-version image we realized the superhero it's playing is Nightwing, a grown up Dick Grayson to the Volt's boy-wonder Robin. Comic book likeness below.

The Opel Ampera had its coming out party a wee bit early for the Geneva Motor Show. Don't fret, our European breathren, your emo-ecomobile is here and we've got all the photos, and details below.

GM has officially unveiled the Opel Ampera, Europe's version of the Chevy Volt. In a reversal of usual practice, the Ampera is mechanically identical to its American cousin but is much better looking.
