While this draft rendering is probably a little exaggerated in how fat the car looks, the new Opel Astra GTC will be very similar to this official drawing. The Astra GTC is expected on the market in 2011, and design head Malcolm Ward has said that the evolution will be radical. In fact, expect a far more “outlandish” shape than the five-door model.
Ward says: “It will be a very dramatic execution and very, very close to the sketch. Think about the current three-door then think about where the new car will go.” The new Astra Sport Hatch will have some very smooth lines, and has spent more than 600 hours in the wind tunnel to improve its aerodynamics.
