Carl-Peter Forster,
President General Motors Europe:

Develop and build cars with passion ? nothing better defines what drives our team. And our customers will feel our passion when they start up the new Opel GT. With the new roadster, we now have an impressive and multifaceted large portfolio of niche products, including the Tigra and Astra TwinTops, which all offer open-top driving fun in their own unique way.�

Hans Demant,
Managing Director, Adam Opel GmbH and GME Vice President, Engineering:

The new Opel GT is a prime example of the technology and design potential that our growing global cooperation within GM offers. We can develop products based on joint vehicle architectures, which not only boast brand-specific characteristics and are worthwhile in smaller production runs, but also enhance the Opel image.�

Bryan Nesbitt,
Executive Director Design, GM Europe:

Designing a roadster is one of the treats of the profession. You know from day one it must exude emotion and fashion beyond all else. The Opel GT is more than a car, it suggests a lifestyle."

An absolute dream car, and thanks to its attractive, affordable price starting from 30,675 euros, it�s a dream that can come true. The new Opel GT concept is in line with its legendary predecessor, and with a powerful turbo engine, the purebred roadster enjoys an exceptional place in its segment.�

Chris Pinn,
Chief Engineer, Model Line:

In the development division, our enthusiasm for the new Opel GT knew no boundaries: we constantly had to keep an eye on the keys to the prototypes!�
