The legendary Opel GT Aero - Origin and Development
The Opel GT Aero represents a special era of car design and holds a high status among car enthusiasts worldwide. The original Opel GT, with its Aero variant standing out due to additional aerodynamic and stylistic features, belongs to the generation from 1968 to 1973 and is a classic sports coupe. The Opel GT was designed by Charles M. Jordan and Erhard Schnell. This design duo managed to create a car that still serves as a benchmark for many successors even decades later. In the development history, the Opel GT follows the popular Opel Kadett, which already laid the foundation for reliable car production.
Technical Features and Specialties of the Opel GT Aero
The Opel GT Aero stands out due to a number of technical features that make it an icon. The engine of the Opel GT was a 1.1 or optionally a stronger 1.9 liter CIH (Cam-in-Head) four-cylinder, which produced up to 90 horsepower. This power allowed the car to reach a top speed of around 115 mph (185 km/h) and accelerate from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in approximately 10 seconds. The chassis comprised a front independent suspension and a rear solid axle with coil springs, providing the car with excellent road handling. Additionally, the Opel GT was one of the few European sports cars of its time equipped with pop-up headlights, a design feature that also made it visually distinctive.
