A teaser image of a new Opel concept was released last week, which has now
been revealed to be the new Gran Turismo Coupe Concept that's scheduled to be
unveiled next week at the Geneva Motor Show. The images, which turned up on
Spanish website km77, highlight Opel's new design trend and a possible
replacement for the original Calibra coupe form the 1990's. The new concept is
based on the next-generation Vectra platform that will also spawn the new
Insignia crossover. Powering the GTC is a modified version of the current Vectra
OPC's 2.8L V6 turbo sending up to 300hp through all four wheels via a six-speed
manual transmission. The claimed 0-100km/h figure is a brief 6 seconds, while
top speed is electronically limited to 250km/h. The interior features electronic
gizmos such as park-assist, a hard-disc for navigation and audio, and finally,
an automatic parking brake that activates depending on vehicle speed. (thanks
