| New Opel ADAM R2 |
Chic, classy, eye-catching: this applies to the ADAM in general, as
well as its R2 rally variant. Special body components from the sporty
Opel OPC product line, quick release catches on the hood and tailgate,
as well as under-ride guards front and rear, emphasize the sporty format
of this athletic asphalt and gravel specialist. Its unique shell also
harbors pure high-tech.
The ADAM R2 is powered by a 1.6 liter ECOTEC 16V engine with variable
camshaft phasing that develops around 185 hp and maximum torque of
about 190 Nm in its competitive configuration. Power is transmitted
through a Sadev sequential five-speed gearbox and a limited-slip
differential with a multi-disc lock. The chassis set-up, including
asphalt and gravel settings, guarantees maximum traction and dynamic
handling. Excellent deceleration is provided by a braking system with a
hydraulic ‘fly-off’ handbrake, Brembo 4 piston front brake calipers and
braking pressure regulation for the rear axle.
The R2’s cabin features all the attributes of a professional
competition vehicle, and many details are already part of the
specification to be homologated this year by FIA, the world motorsport
association. Equipment includes: an integrated safety structure; SPARCO
Competition racing seats compatible with the HANS driver safety system; a
cockpit with an LCD gear indicator, control light and MONIT trip
computer; a central control panel; a map reading light and an electric
fire extinguisher.

The ultra-compact R2 is based on the new ADAM Cup variant.
This already marks the first step in Opel’s new, European focused
program to promote customer rallying, which will enable talented young
drivers to gradually progress to the pinnacle of European competition.
From the 2013 season, up to 40 ADAM Cup vehicles will compete for brand
trophies in Germany and France. In the German ADAC OPEL RALLYE CUP, the
winner of a special “Rallye Junior” rating (for drivers up to 27 years
of age) will advance into the R2 class, with special support in the next
season from Opel and the ADAC.
