GT Love - 50 Jahre Opel GT (Deutsche Ausgabe)

Kapitän, Admiral, Diplomat, Manta, Monza - there are many Opels with impressive names and exciting designs. But no model from the brand with the lightning bolt is as legendary as the GT. The sports coupe is an eye-catcher, a milestone, a cult and a dream for generations of drivers. It is considered to be the most sensational Opel of all time. And as a model for today's models - above all for the GT Concept, which celebrated its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2016.

"Only flying is better" was the slogan for the GT. A promise that also proved true in motorsport. And as an experimental diesel and electric GT, the German answer to the Corvette even set world records.
