The Opel GT roadster will be on the market in Europe starting from march 2007, with prices starting from 29,900 €.

I’m a bit baffled by the long time between the introduction and its availability: it’s not as if Opel is inventing anything new, it’s (almost) a rebadged Saturn Sky.

Maybe it would have been better to present it first in concept form and then, at a later auto show present a different roadgoing version: when the GT will be finally available Opel will have to work hard to present it as a novelty …

It’s a shame, because the substance is very interesting. It’s a compact car (4.091 m, long, 1.813 m wide, 1.274 m high, the wheelbase is 2.415 m) and it’ll wegh, 1,320 kg. The 2.0 Turbo Ecotec engine has two counter-rotating shafts, twin scroll turbo-charger and outputs 260 ps. The GT will have a top speed “over 230 km/h” and will accelerate from 0-100 km/h in less than 6 seconds.

Below the fold you’ll find a couple of photos of the interior. Our Italian site also has some pictures of the Opel GT in Geneva.
