VIDEO: OPEL'S NEW GT CONCEPT IS A HIGHLIGHT OF THE NEAR FUTURE
Opel CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann just dropped the brand new Vauxhall/Opel GT concept coupe on Twitter, and it’s an excitingly refreshing design that looks like it just set a zero-to-sixty time through a highlighter factory.Opel is reinventing itself, and they “don’t want you to miss what happens next.” According to AutoExpress, the new Vauxhall-slash-Opel GT concept is a RWD sports car outfitted with a 1.0 liter 3-cylinder good for around 143 hp with a six-speed auto.
It’s supposed to hit 0-62 in less than eight seconds and a top speed of around 130 mph, so it’s not exactly blisteringly quick—but that wont really matter because the car seems extremely likely to just be a design study for the future of the brand(s).The pinkish-redish highlight running from the front wheels up the A-pillar and across the “cubed-sphere” shaped cabin, highlighting what is a conservative but attractive overall shape, is a nice unique touch.
