Opel GT Roadster
Opel revives the GT legend with a stunning two-seat sports car. The GT’s exciting, sharply-cut lines and classic rear-wheel drive echo the successful concept of the original (1968 – 1973). At the same time, the new GT reinterprets the icon as a powerful roadster with a potent four-cylinder, direct injection gasoline turbo engine.
German tuning firm Lexmaul, has developed a subtle performance kit for the Opel GT roadster. A series of engine upgrades that include a new sport exhaust system boost the 2.0-liter turbocharged unit’s output from 264HP to 312HP while torque has also been increased from 353 Nm to 440 Nm. Lexmaul also lowered the suspension by 30mm and added a new set of 20-inch Schmidt Revolution CC-Line alloy wheels up front and 21-inch alloys at the back wrapped in chunkier 255 tires (255/35-R20 and 255/30-R21).
