欧宝近日正式发布了GT概念车，该车将在3月3日开幕的日内瓦车展正式与公众见面。从外观上看，该车采用了未来主义风格，以红色线条勾勒车身轮廓。车头造型类似Monza概念车，侧面轮廓突出长长的引擎盖和独特的车尾，短后悬。另外，该车没有车门把手和侧后视镜。驾驶员和乘客进入车内只需按一下车顶红色轮廓线内集成的触控板，车门就会打开。在轮拱后面设置的两个摄像头可以将图像传递到车厢左右两侧的两个监视器上。该车前大灯还配备了最新版IntelliLux LED技术，可提供3D照明。该车动力系统为一台1.0升三缸涡轮增压引擎，采用前中置布局，后轮驱动并配备机械差速器锁止和顺序式变速箱。引擎功率107千瓦/145马力，搭配六速变速器，可通过方向盘拨片实现换挡。车辆百公里加速时间不到8秒，最高时速215公里。

 

Opel GT Concept is 145-hp mid-engine, RWD baby sports car

Opel has officially introduced the GT Concept ahead of its global premiere, set for the 2016 Geneva Auto Show in early March.

 

Speaking of design, the first impression of the car is that it’s nowhere close to production and features futuristic look dominated by a red signature line that “splits the vehicle body horizontally and proportions it.” While the front end strongly reminds us of the Monza Concept, the side profile reveals long bonnet and distinctive rear end with short rear overhang.

 

What also caught our attention are the doors that have no door handles and side mirrors. Both the driver and the passenger gain access to the interior after pressing a touchpad that is integrated in the red signature line of the roof. Two cameras have been mounted behind the wheel arches, transmitting images to two monitors on the left and right-hand side of the cockpit.

 

The manufacturer has also installed the latest version of its IntelliLux LED technology that provides “very three-dimensional” light from the headlights.

 

We are tempted to agree with Opel, which describes the GT Concept as a true sportscast. Despite its 1.0-liter 3-cylinder turbo engine, the vehicle indeed has a classic conception with front mid-engine, rear-wheel drive with a mechanical differential lock, and a sequential gearbox. The 145 horsepower (107 kW) generated by the unit are channeled to the rear axle through a six-speed transmission that is controllable by shift paddles on the steering wheel.

 

This setup provides acceleration from 0 to 62 miles per hour (0 to 100 kilometers per hour) in less than 8 seconds with top speed reaching 215 km/h.

 

“We are taking the next step towards even more emotion and driving pleasure with the Opel GT Concept," Opel Group CEO Dr. Karl-Thomas Neumann commented. "The GT Concept shows what Opel stands for now. We are confident, ambitious, innovative and we want win over more customers with every new car.”

 

Look for the Opel GT Concept at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show that is scheduled to open its doors on March 3.
