Their has always been a special place in my heart for small roadsters and the new Opel GT is the best looking roadster I have ever seen. This new roadster was released in 2007 by the European manufacture and became an instant success throughout Europe. For those who haven’t been lucky enough to see this car it is relatively the same car as the Saturn Sky Red Line. The Sky Red Line is a nice compromise if you live in the States, but I prefer the aggressive styling of the Opel.
What’s not to love about this car? It just looks fast with its exotic styling and its large 18 inch wheels. And not only does this car look fast, it is fast with a 2.0 L, 260 hp direct injection turbocharged Ecotec four-cylinder engine. That much power in a car as light as the GT really makes it scream on the road. This roadster is not just a straight line car; it eats up corners with a wide stance and its double wishbone forged aluminum suspension. The new Opel GT is the total package.
When it comes to sports cars that are under fifty grand you almost always sacrifice style for performance or vice versa. Well this is not the case with the Opel GT. Not only is this car gorgeous, but this car is a performance machine that can perform on the street or even on the race track. If you haven’t seen this car you should check out the Opel website because you will not be disappointed.
