Overall Rating
Opel GT:
The Opel GT is a front-engine, rear-drive two-seat sports car manufactured and marketed by Opel in two generations separated by a 34-year hiatus.

II Overview:
Opel GT (II). With 353 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. With a weight of 1406 kg, it falls in the mid‑range. Rear‑wheel drive offers dynamic handling and sporty feedback. Acceleration is excellent (0–100 km/h in 5.7 s). The top speed reaches 230 km/h. A convertible car with a retractable roof, offering open-air driving experiences. Seating for 2 makes it ideal for daily use.
The Opel GT II was not tested by Euro NCAP. As a niche sports car from the mid-2000s, its passive safety features would likely be adequate for its time but not comparable to modern standards.
