The Opel Astra 200t S was launched in South Africa in 1993. It was produced under licence by Delta Motor Corporation. However, the Opel Kadett 200t S name was retained for the Astra hatchback until 1999. The South African Astra included a variant with a 2.0 L turbocharged engine.

The 200t S was a specific name where Delta Motor Corporation wanted to show the specialty of the type, which could beat the M3 in a quarter mile in that time. The 200t S stands for: 200 for the horsepower, t for the turbocharger and S for the six speed transmission which was unique in its class at those ages).

Both engine and chassis was produced in limited numbers (350 only) at Opel's Hungarian factory at Szentgotthárd and at Port Elizabeth, South Africa. The engine (C20LET) in the Opel Astra 200t S was sourced from the Opel Calibra 2.0 16V turbo and Opel Vectra A 4x4 2.0 16V turbo, 4 wheel drive found on European markets, but South African engineers converted the 6 speed, 4 wheeldrive drivetrain (Getrag F28) to front wheel drive only and as such was unique to that market. The body differed from the regular Astra sedan.

It featured the Astra GSi bodykit modified for the 4 door version. It also featured a boot lip spoiler designed by Steinmetz Opel-Tuning, Kohl automobile Vertriebs GmbH. But some people call it the irmscher spoiler, but it is different from the factory Astra 200t S one. The car was mounted on the 16 inch Calibra turbo alloy wheels.

Sedan was offered under the Astra 200t S name. Controversially, the Kadett and Astra in South Africa won the title of 'Car of the Year' in two consecutive years (1993 and 1994) even though they were versions of the same car. South African nomenclature was denoted in centilitres, so the Astra and Kadett ranges featured 140, 160i, 180i and 200i models.
