Opel GTC Paris Concept
Opel/Vauxhall released today new details regarding the GTC Paris Concept, which will make its debut later this month in the French capital. Finally, we know that engine is in this concept: a 2.0-liter Turbo gasoline engine with direct injection capable to deliver an impressive 290 hp (213 kW) and mated to a six-speed manual transmission. Due to this power, the concept also received fully adaptive FlexRide suspension and an limited slip differential in the front.
Measuring 4.46 meters, the production version of this concept promises to be the ideal compact sporty car, offering plenty of space for five persons (although we’d recommend just four). Furthermore, the manufacturer also revealed the first images with the interior. This is inspired by the hatchback version, but comes with new Recaro sports buckets, a sporty gear knob as well as with a new sports steering wheel with metal inserts.
The Opel design team used leather and micro-fibers for the seats, plush carpeting on the flooring, and a textured black instrument panel. These classic materials have a contemporary twist, not only in the choice of hues but also in the positive/negative stitching. The car’s inspiration, a quote from Richard Bach’s novel, Jonathon Livingstone Seagull is laser-etched in calligraphy script into the seat … “and the speed was pure beauty.”.
