Do you remember the Opel GT Concept? Soon you will be able to see parts of it on other cars from the brand

Do you remember the Opel GT Concept? This model was presented at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year. It is a car that aimed to set the design direction for future models from the brand, so it never got many numbers to end up moving into the production phase. Still, it is undeniably a very attractive car that would have given a lot of play once several units were built.

The prototype would have had to undergo several design changes and adapt each element to the real world, which is far more practical and requires fewer bold designs and more useful ones. The suspension and rear differential would have had to be adapted, using technology found in other models from the brand to give it practical real-world usefulness.

But let’s not get worked up, because this car has too many interesting things to let slip away. And many of those design elements have been used to shape the future versions of other models. Among them, the Opel Insignia, which will have the chance to incorporate the grille this prototype sports into its bodywork, as well as the bodywork lines, which will bring greater dynamism to the overall look of these models.

This could partly soften the disappointment of not having the complete car on the market. For a start, this would be the model that uses the design language of the Opel GT Concept, but it wouldn’t end there. Several models and versions are planned to arrive over the coming years, so there will be many opportunities to have it in the lineup, even if only in part.

But why doesn’t this original model make it to the production line? According to Rory Harvey, managing director of Vauxhall, it has not been ruled out yet, but they are “very busy over the next few years, so prioritising a small coupé is difficult“.

So while they decide whether to take this experimental model into production or to do it “piecemeal“, we can enjoy this video that EVO magazine has made to show us what this prototype contributes, and could contribute, to other models.
