Designed for emotion

A puristic shape boldly pointing to the future. Reduced to its bare essentials. No door handles, no exterior door mirrors, no windshield wipers. The Opel GT Concept: a new expression of pure driving passion.

Crossing red lines

The distinctive red elements symbolize Opel’s groundbreaking spirit. Red front tires on roller skate rims. A red signature line that splits the vehicle body horizontally and proportions it. Red seats inside. Ready for the ride of a lifetime.

Back to the future

The long hood, the absence of a trunk lid, the central dual exhaust and the name all refer to the original Experimental GT of 1965. Apart from that, the Opel GT Concept bears with no sign of retro-design.

A true sports car

Front mid-engine, turbocharged and rear-wheel drive. Low and central center of gravity for sporty handling and excellent cornering.

Inside the GT concept

Electric doors open wide when you press the touchpad on the roof. Inside, there are many more surprises. Like camera-fed monitors supplanting the mirrors. A first peek at the interior is coming up soon. All will be revealed at the 86th Geneva International Motor Show (March 3 to 13, 2016).

Interior

Pure driving adrenaline

Let the Opel GT Concept empower you and every one of your senses. This is more than just an interior of a sports car, this is the interface of the future that will bring together man and machine.

No distractions

Feel the absolute grace and ambience of the GT Concept’s inner. Aluminum structural purity combined with sculpted lightness evoke the era of a future age.

Become one with the machine

Connect yourself into the holistic interface compartment and let the GT Concept learn your preferences so that you can fully indulge.

Your guardian angel

The GT Concept’s sixth sense, which is provided by an array of exterior cameras, acts as your guardian angel. Whether high in the adrenaline of driving or down in difficult conditions, the GT Concept will watch over your every move.

Down to the last detail

The eye-catching red wheels of the Opel GT Concept are reflected in the shining red seatbelt retractors. Design for emotion becomes art in motion.

Experimental GT

Technology

Opel was the first car manufacturer to demonstrate its innovative power with a concept

 

car that had been entirely created in its own design facilities. "Besides having a fantastic look, the Opel sports car was primarily designed to impress with sophisticated aerodynamics," explains Erhard Schnell, GT designer at the time. Even the headlights were shrouded to reduce air resistance.
