"If you can dream it, you can create it."
Fans of the Opel GT Concept who are looking forward to its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show (March 3-13) have the chance to catch a glimpse of the sports car in a new video. A genuine 'dream car', the thoroughbred prototype appears like a dream, stirring and stimulating all of the protagonist's senses. It seems to whisper "Come on, drive me!" and then immediately lands with masterful figures in the life of an automotive esthete. A dream come true in a film: quietly the door opens, the protagonist takes his place behind the wheel - and the GT Concept accelerates at breakneck speed through the streets of a bustling metropolis.
The film is the prelude to the world premiere of the GT Concept at the 86th Geneva Motor Show. The sports car of the future will continue the brand's long and successful tradition of concept cars that began with the Experimental GT in 1965. Those who watch it very closely will see that the new Opel GT Concept momentarily meets the historic Opel GT during the film.
"The GT Concept launches new trends that will influence the evolution of the brand and reveals the design philosophy of our future models: expressive, highly emotional and sporty," said Opel CMO Tina Müller. "The GT Concept pays tribute to the legendary Opel GT and will be an iconic model for the brand in the future."
"If you can dream it, you can create it" is the message of the 78-second film that is being shown on social media such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. The film, created under the direction of Hanna Maria Heidrich and Scholz & Friends, shows how a car with almost supernatural abilities can access its driver's dreams. The script is modern and simple, leaving room for the dream car to unfold and reveal all its charm.
The GT Concept with front- and rear-wheel drive takes Opel's design philosophy to the next level. The sports car is innovative but purebred. It has no door handles or exterior mirrors and lacks any unnecessary decorative elements. The long bonnet, the very short protrusions and the bold red line as an identity element exude genuine dynamism. The absence of a boot, the central dual exhaust, the steering wheel design and of course the name, all refer to the first GT. However, the GT Concept doesn't just mimic its ancestor: it reinterprets the innovative, bold and exciting spirit of the first GT without a hint of retro design.
