Opel - 50 ans de sportives
Since its inception, Opel has produced nearly sixty-seven million cars. Like all great generalists, its range of sports cars has been stifled by its other, more popular models.
However, for more than fifty years, the German manufacturer has been committed to offering sports vehicles: from the Kadett Rallye of the 1960s to the latest Astra OPCs, including the Manta, the Commodore GS/E, the Opel GT and other Omega Lotus or Monza.
Through these pages, rediscover these cars that make all car enthusiasts dream and vibrate to the exploits of Opel competition both in rallying and on the circuit.
