The GTC (Gran Turismo Coupe) Concept debuted at the 2007 Geneva Motor Show indicates Opel’s new design for the future.
With the large aluminum vertical intakes that intersect the headlamps, the front end performance face looks aggressive. These vertical elements are then continued by the rear exhaust elements.
The Opel GTC Concept planted by 20-inch rims with 245/40 R20 tyres.
The Opel GTC Concept significantly represents the next chapter of Opel’s interior brand identity. Echoing the exterior, the interior shapes and surfaces are sculpturally-crafted to visually articulate a dynamic driving experience. The dashboard’s top-pad wraps around from the instrument panel to the door, embracing the occupants. The sweeping decor dynamically stretches one’s eye from the surfaces of the door and instrument panel, creating a memorable environment. The horizontal theme is secured with a large integrated centerstack design floating above the decor surface, an appearance reminiscent of premium audio equipment.
The Opel GTC concept car 2.8-liter V6 gasoline engine with two variable camshafts, which is combined with a six-speed manual transmission which is also turbocharged produces 300 bhp. At 1850 up to 4500 rpm, maximum torque of 295 lb-ft is available. The GTC accelerates from zero to 62 mph at six seconds and the top speed is limited to 155 mph.
The power from the high-tech turbo engine is channeled via an advanced, electronically-controlled four-wheel drive system, which is fully integrated into the car’s adaptive IDSPlus chassis management system. An electronically-regulated torque transfer device seamlessly distributes power between the front and rear axles for optimum traction and driving performance. The high-speed control allows more power to be provided to the rear axle before any traction loss can occur, for example during quick acceleration. This creates a driving feel similar to a sporty rear-wheel drive car. An electronically-controlled limited slip differential at the rear axle provides additional stability and traction thanks to torque distribution between the rear wheels.
Optimum traction and stability in all driving conditions as well as excellent agility and an active driving feel are the major benefits of the Opel GTC Concept’s intelligent four-wheel drive system.
