GT' prototype was shown at the IAA motor show in Frankfurt (1965).GT bodies were produced by french manufacturers
'Chausson' and
'Brissoneau & Lotz'. Final assembly took place in Bochum, Germany.
There were initially 2 models, the GT 1100 (60ps) and GT 1900 (90ps).
(PS= DIN Horse Powers). Initial price was DM 10780,-
In 1969 a targa style model 'Aero-GT' was shown at the IAA
in Frankfurt, but not put into production. Aero prototypes remain today
and are sometimes shown by Opel at German classic events.
