Opel introduced a retroelectric car with a mechanical checkpoint (video)

In honor of the 50th anniversary of the popular sports compartment Opel Manta, Opel has developed the MANTA GSE ELEKTROMOD concept car, the appearance of which as a whole repeats the appearance of the classic model. So far, Opel does not plan to establish serial production of this electric car.

The electric coupe has retained the general features of the classic car, but received a number of modern solutions. So, the front part of the concept car is decorated in the new Vizor company style, and a display is located on the site of the radiator lattice, to which text messages can be displayed.

Instead of a gasoline 1.6-liter engine of the old compartment, his electric heir received an electric motor at the rear axle with a capacity of 147 horsepower. At the same time, engineers left a four -stage mechanical box, thanks to which transmission can be controlled manually. At the same time, an automatic mode of operation is also provided for the box - for this, it is enough for the driver to turn on the fourth gear, writes RBC . The battery capacity is 31 kW*h, and the range is estimated at 200 kilometers.

In the cabin of the electric car, a virtual dashboard with a diagonal of 12 inches and a 10-inch screen of the multimedia system are installed. The interior of the compartment is decorated in black and yellow with the use of Alcantara, and the concepts of the concept car are installed on the Adam S charged hatchback, writes Motor.ru .

The original Opel Manta model was produced from 1970 to 1988. Until 1975, the company produced the Manta A coupe, and then it was replaced by the second generation of the model (Manta B).

Recall that in November last year, Opel introduced the updated brand logo, as well as corporate yellow and new font. "The purpose of the image update is to look even more modern and bold. After all, Opel has always been a symbol of democratization of innovation and mobility," the company explained.

The updated logo has become two -dimensional, and the rim around the lightning icon has become thinner. The yellow color was chosen as a corporate party, since it symbolizes the era of electrification and is remembered. Finally, a new branded font called Opel Next in the company described as "light and energetic, modern and clear."
