Whether it was the rocket car, the Ascona or Calibra: racing has been the motor of Opel for more than 100 years. Just two years after the production commenced, a car with the lightning badge wins a race.

The 1960s and 1970s were the golden years of Opel. With the introduction of colorful, modern and exicting models like the Opel Ascona (1900 in the US), Manta, Rekord and GT, the traditional brand from Rüsselsheim in Germany rose to peak form.

The Opel Ampera is the first electric family saloon that is designed to convince anyone that’s wary of electric cars. After its introduction at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, the mid-range car is now available for sale.
