Opel wants to move the Audi TT

In Opel's building plans to create dvuhdverki with the prefix GT, which will be able to compete with the Audi TT and Volkswagen Scirocco.

According to Auto Express, the new product will be on the front-drive platform of the latest generation Astra. Under the hood will be both gasoline and diesel engines, of course, the turbo. We consider the 1.6-liter version in the «heavy fuel» in the 120–136 hp, as well as 3-cylinder liter engine. The coupe will be front wheel drive. As for the transmission, then there are possible options: from 6-step «mechanics» to «robot» Easytronic with one clutch.

As for the design, it is sure to be inspired by the styling of the prototype Monza (minimum of frills, high technology), which made its debut in 2013 in Frankfurt. Although it is possible that this is somewhat a replica of the prototype will be Opel Experimental GT 1965.

If the concept Opel GT appears in public in the spring of 2016 in Geneva, in the showrooms — not before 2017, and the first — a compartment, and then, in 2018, and a version with folding roof.

Recall the first Opel GT appeared in 1968 and stayed on the market for five years.

In 2007, the company used the name for him releasing roadster (he had been branded and Saturn, and Daewoo), production of which was discontinued three years later. Under the hood was a 2-liter turbo engine capacity of 264 hp
