1992 GMC Ultralite Experimental news, pictures, and information

Coupe
 
The Ultralite Experimental was created jointly by the GM Design Center, Advanced Engineering and GM Research Laboratories in 1992. The Ultralite team worked with Scaled Composites, that organization that helped create the carbon fiber Voyager aircraft that circumnavigated the globe without refueling.

The Ultralite was created using 10 space-age carbon fiber panels, yielding a drag coefficient of just 0.192, and gave the vehicle a low 1400-pound overall weight. On the EPA city-highway test cycle, the Ultralite delivered 45-mpg city and 81-mpg highway computed mileage results.
