The Monza was Opel's large coupe, built on the Senator and Rekord underpinnings, and it reached buyers in 1978. The top engine was the 3.0-litre straight-six with Bosch electronic fuel injection, 132 kW (about 180 hp), which took the car from 0 to 100 km/h in about 8.5 seconds. In 1982 the Monza and Senator received a facelift with larger headlights and a more streamlined nose, known as the A2. The GSE followed in 1983 as the top version of the coupe, with digital instruments and Recaro seats. Production ended in 1986.
Opel's elegant grand-touring fastback coupe based on the Senator, built 1978-1986.
