Opel GT Concept : The Dream Continues

"If you can dream it, you can create it."

Οι θαυμαστές του Opel GT Concept που ανυπομονούν για την παγκόσμια πρεμιέρα του στο Σαλόνι Αυτοκινήτου της Γενεύης (3 – 13 Μαρτίου) έχουν την ευκαιρία να απολαύσουν φευγαλέα το σπορ αυτοκίνητο σε ένα νέο βίντεο.  Γνήσιο ‘dream car’, το καθαρόαιμο πρωτότυπο εμφανίζεται σαν όνειρο, αναστατώνοντας και διεγείροντας όλες τις αισθήσεις του πρωταγωνιστή. Μοιάζει να του ψιθυρίζει “Έλα, οδήγησέ με!” και αμέσως μετά προσγειώνεται με αριστοτεχνικές φιγούρες στη ζωή ενός εστέτ της αυτοκίνησης. Ένα όνειρο που γίνεται πραγματικότητα σε μία ταινία: αθόρυβα η πόρτα ανοίγει, ο πρωταγωνιστής παίρνει θέση πίσω από το τιμόνι – και το GT Concept επιταχύνει με ιλιγγιώδη ταχύτητα στους δρόμους μιας σφύζουσας μεγαλούπολης.

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.
