The Rocks version features a steering wheel with city mode for a more relaxed drive, parking sensors and cruise control. Opel did not reveal any detils about the engine, but it may be safe to assume that the car uses the same atmospheric 3 cylinder 1-liter engine that produces 75 hp, as the standard version of the Karl. The power will be transferred to the front wheels via a manual 5-speed gearbox.
