Opel Experimental GT

OPEL Experimental GT (1965) in actionFactory brochure was multi-lingual..

The Experimental GT was revealed by Opel in 1965. It was not a production vehicle
but was used by the factory in research. A brochure was made available to the public to
put Opel on the map of manufacturers with the future in mind.

It was not until 1968 Opel launched the Opel GT, a car which became very popular
and still today is the basis of a large industry and market for restoration/tuning/competition,
especially in Germany and the United States.
