The Opel Gran Turismo Coupé Concept, abbreviated as Opel GTC Concept, is an Opel concept car which was speculated to be a hypothetical Opel Vectra coupé. The GTC premiered at the 77th Geneva Motor Show.

Specifications

The GTC is powered with a turbocharged 2.8 L (171 cid) V6 engine from the High Feature family, also used in the standard Vectra, but tuned in the GTC to produce 300 horsepower (220 kW) and 295 ft-lb (400 Nm) of torque. The base and floorpan come from a General Motors Epsilon II platform but modified for all-wheel drive to apply the power effectively. The car was capable of 0-100 kilometres per hour (62 mph) in 6.0 seconds and a top speed of 250 kilometres per hour (160 mph).

Influence

Opel Insignia

The Opel Vectra is due to go out of production. Design cues of the Opel GTC will be used on the Opel Insignia, which is an upmarket replacement for the Vectra. However, a coupé version of the Insignia will not be available.
