GT 1900

STORY

The GT name sits on two unrelated cars. Opel showed the Experimental GT study at the Frankfurt show in 1965, and the production GT went on sale in 1968 as a two-seat coupe with a 1.1-litre 60 PS or 1.9-litre 90 PS four. The bodies came from French coachbuilders Chausson and Brissonneau & Lotz and were completed at Bochum; more than 103,000 were built by 1973, most of them for the United States. In 2007 the name returned on a US-built roadster that is a rebadged Saturn Sky, with a turbocharged 2.0-litre four.
