Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo: From the First Idea to the Epitome of GSE

• Top secret OMG! GSE: Opel provides exclusive insights into the development process of its latest concept car in a social media video series
• Highlight for the community: How Opel opened the door to the gaming world and became part of the Vision Gran Turismo crowd
• Amazing the world: The high-performance study at IAA Mobility and Gran Turismo World Series

A system output of 588 kW (800 hp), 800 Newton meters of torque, acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.0 seconds and a top speed of 320 km/h – this is the Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo. It stands for pure performance and the emotional electric GSE future. Since its world premiere, the high-performance study has been thrilling audiences and is the first Opel concept car merging the real and digital worlds. But how did an idea turn into such an impressive concept? 

In an exciting social media video series, Opel is now giving the community exclusive insights into the development process of the groundbreaking concept car (episodes 1 to 3). In episodes 4 to 6, those responsible show the breathtaking public response that the Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo received during its first appearances at the IAA Mobility in Munich and the Gran Turismo World Series in Berlin. In short: OMG! How an idea became the epitome of GSE.

Episode 1: GSE Origins

“There was a continuous request for thrill, for excitement, for performance. And by taking GSE to the next level, we’re answering to the Opel community”, said Opel Vice President Marketing Rebecca Reinermann in the video. Opel has been successfully demonstrating RACE and DRIVE in electric rallying for many years. But there was still one thing missing: PLAY! So the task was to conquer the gaming world – with a concept car that had to be extraordinary in every respect and at the same time based on a legendary Opel model. The idea for the Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo was born.

Episode 2: The Secrets of an OMG! Concept Car

But how to bring it to life? After all, Opel was breaking new ground in several respects with its latest concept. Opel has designed many sensational studies, but never a pure racing car. And the leap from the digital to the real world was also new. “The whole team was on fire. So, we really wanted to push the boundaries”, explained Chief Designer Advanced Concepts Florian Theis. Initially, a great amount of development work was carried out in virtual reality before the physical design took shape and the actual vehicle, made of lightweight materials, could finally be assembled.

Episode 3: OMG! Design Walkaround

Then the moment arrived: Opel executives were able to see the finished concept car for the first time. “OMG! A super-emotional moment,” summarised Florian Theis. More precise, sleeker, more technical and even more emotional: all the design goals pursued during the development process were achieved. They contribute to the incomparable performance of this high-performance study. What makes it special is that all the details can be seen and experienced not only in the real world, but also in the digital world of Gran Turismo 7, one of the world’s premiere racing simulators. Furthermore, the Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo gives a first glimpse of the next generation of Opel vehicles

Episode 4: IAA: An OMG! World Premiere

“This is the great moment, the moment that we’ve all been working for more than a year, where we finally get to unveil the car and show it to a global audience.” The excitement described by Opel CEO Florian Huettl at the world premiere of the Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo at IAA Mobility 2025 was well worth it. The media and public response to the GSE premieres in Munich was overwhelming! This also applied to Opel's unique booth in the city centre, which merged real vehicles with the digital world of Gran Turismo 7. In short: “This car gets your pulse racing. Wide open eyes. Social media goes crazy!”

Episode 5: Inside Gran Turismo: An OMG! World Series

After the IAA Mobility followed the Gran Turismo World Series in Berlin. And there the Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo also thrilled the community – right in the heart of the international gaming and social media event. The perfect place to demonstrate how the real and physical worlds merge and stir emotions. “Something I have never experienced. Wow,” said one visitor, summing it up perfectly. And Opel CEO Huettl is sure: “We’ve opened up a world of new opportunities!”

Episode 6: Inside Gran Turismo: An OMG! Collaboration

With the Gran Turismo collaboration, Opel has boldly trodden new ground – with great success, as the reactions of gamers and everyone involved show. As gaming legend and Gran Turismo series producer Kazunori Yamauchi stated: “The Vision Gran Turismo project started 12 years ago. And in recent Vision Gran Turismo efforts, we consider what automobiles should be in the future together with the car manufacturers. 

Regarding this Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo, my impression is that it is a very realistic design.” In this respect, the latest high-performance study from Rüsselsheim already offers a glimpse into the future of GSE and upcoming Opel models. Mission accomplished!

Opel Astra Sports Tourer Hybrid: Efficient Allrounder for Job and Family

• Now on display: Stylish compact class bestseller takes centre stage at IAA Mobility 2025
• On just one tank of fuel: Opel Astra Sports Tourer covers distance of more than 1,200 km
• Full choice of powertrains: From battery-electric to plug-in hybrid and hybrid with 48-volt technology to efficient combustion engines
• Plenty of flexible space: Travel with up to five people or 1,634 litres of loading capacity
• Made in Germany: Designed, engineered and built at Opel’s headquarters in Rüsselsheim

As a sporty, elegant company car, a comfortable, flexible leisure estate or a highly efficient ‘long-distance champion’ – the Opel Astra Sports Tourer meets virtually all professional and family requirements. The compact class bestseller recently demonstrated its outstanding efficiency by covering more than 1,200 kilometres under real traffic conditions – without refuelling! Now, the long-distance hero ‘made in Germany’ can be seen at the IAA Mobility in Munich. From today, trade visitors can take a closer look at it at the Opel Booth B20 in Hall B3 of the IAA Summit.

Efficiency and long-distance wonder: 1,200 kilometres at 4.3 litres per 100 kilometres

A system output of 107 kW (145 hp) and a fuel tank volume of 52 litres – these were the prerequisites that the Opel Astra Sports Tourer Hybrid had for its long-distance test. Then the Opel test drivers set off on a route of about 106 kilometres in the Rhine-Main area, starting and ending in Rüsselsheim. The result after more than 11 laps, which the compact estate completed over two days on motorways as well as on country roads and small village streets, heading through the rush hours and stop-and-go traffic, was astonishing: Opel Astra Sports Tourer had driven more than 1,200 kilometres without refuelling, with an average fuel consumption of just 4.3 litres per 100 kilometres and around 345 kilometres covered purely electrically thanks to its 48-volt hybrid technology, all at an average speed of 61 km/h, typical for everyday driving.

However, it did not stop at internal testing, and so the editorial team of the TV magazine VOX auto mobil independently checked whether the Opel Astra Sports Tourer could repeat such an extraordinary performance. And yes – it could! The TV testers drove the estate from Munich to Sylt, averaging around 17 km/h faster than Opel’s internal tests and covering a total of 1,154 kilometres – also on just one tank of fuel! This makes the Opel Astra Sports Tourer Hybrid a real long-distance hero.

For everyone’s needs: Full choice of powertrains

But it is not just as a hybrid with 48-volt technology that the Opel Astra Sports Tourer really comes into its own. Customers have the full choice, because the current Astra generation offers a variety of powertrains like no other model in the Opel portfolio. Battery-electric, as a new plug-in hybrid, as a hybrid with 48-volt technology or with a highly efficient combustion engine – Astra Sports Tourer drivers can choose the efficient alternative that best suits their requirements and lifestyle without having to compromise.

Opel Astra Sports Tourer Electric is the perfect example for this. The battery-electric compact class bestseller accelerates to 100 km/h in 9.3 seconds, and it can reach a top speed of 170 km/h. Driver and passengers in the Astra Sports Tourer Electric can travel up to 413 kilometres (according to WLTP2) locally emissions-free without stopping, and choose from the three drive modes Eco, Normal and Sport. Even when the battery-electric Astra needs to be recharged, this only means a short ‘pit stop’ at a charging point. The all-electric car can be charged to 80 per cent of the battery capacity in around 30 minutes at a 100 kW direct current fast charging station.

Comfortable all-rounder with extra space: Up to 1,634 litres of loading capacity

Opel Astra Sports Tourer Electric also shows that it is a real all-rounder that combines sporty styling with locally emissions-free driving with its load volume: Even with the rear seats up, the luggage compartment of the compact class estate offers 516 litres of cargo volume – with the seats folded down, the capacity of the all-electric car increases to up to 1,553 litres. And as a hybrid or with a combustion engine, the variable rear compartment of the Opel Astra Sports Tourer offers even up to 1,634 litres of storage space. Thus, not only numerous suitcases and work utensils, but also more voluminous items such as transport boxes can be comfortably accommodated, pleasantly easy to load via the 60-centimetre-low loading sill.

The entire journey in the Opel Astra Sports Tourer is just as pleasant as accessing the boot – according to the motto: Take a seat, enjoy the drive and get out again after hours in a relaxed manner. This is ensured by ten-way adjustable ergonomic active sports seats with electro-pneumatic lumbar support, massage function, seat ventilation and heating for the driver and front passenger. Elsewhere, the optional electric glass sunroof creates a light and airy atmosphere with the best views of the sky, even from the second row. And in darkness or adverse weather conditions, Astra Sports Tourer drivers can have a relaxed journey thanks to the glare-free IntelliLux Pixel light. Finally, the ten-inch colour touchscreen or voice-activated multimedia navigation system ensures drivers to arrive at their destination without detours, while their own compatible smartphone can be charged wirelessly in the centre console.

With all these qualities, the Astra Sports Tourer – designed, engineered and manufactured at Opel's headquarters in Rüsselsheim – is ideal as a prestigious business vehicle as well as a practical and durable family and leisure hero – flexible, comfortable and, in every variant, highly economical and efficient.

Combined values for Opel Astra Sports Tourer Hybrid 48V according to WLTP 1: Fuel consumption 5.0-5.1 l/100 km; CO2 emissions 112-115 g/km; CO2 label C.

[1] The values of a vehicle depend not only on the efficient use of fuel by the vehicle, but are also influenced by driving behavior and other non-technical factors.

[2] Range values determined according to WLTP test procedure methodology (R (EC) No. 715/2007, R (EU) No. 2017/1151). The actual range can vary under everyday conditions and depends on various factors, in particular on personal driving style, route characteristics, outside temperature, use of heating and air conditioning and thermal preconditioning.

OMG! GSE: Opel Booths at the IAA Mobility 2025

• RACE, DRIVE, PLAY: Opel booth at the Open Space reflects the high-performance character of the all-electric GSE newcomers
• Focus on world premieres: Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo and new Opel Mokka GSE can be experienced at the IAA Summit as well as at the Open Space booth
• Digital and real worlds merge: Visitors can drive the latest concept car at Odeonsplatz for the first time in the Gran Turismo 7 racing simulator

OMG! GSE: This is the unique feeling evoked by the new all-electric models of Opel's high-performance GSE label – and this is exactly what visitors will experience at the Opel booths at the IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich from September 8 to 14. At both the IAA Summit and the Open Space in the city centre, the brand with the Blitz will be all about high speed, battery-electric power and emotions this year. This is already demonstrated by the two world premieres, Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo and the Opel Mokka GSE, which the manufacturer will present live to the media for the first time in Hall B3, Stand B20, at the IAA Summit on September 8. Thanks to optically floating yellow and white cubes, they will be staged in a modern and electrifying way.

In the following days, the latest Opel concept car and the new battery-electric production vehicles as well as the next all-electric rally car, the Opel Mokka GSE Rally, will also attract attention at the Open Space, Stand OP340, at Odeonsplatz. Opel also provides all important information about the brand’s booths, vehicles and locations at the IAA Mobility on the official Opel visitor website.

Bold, pure, visionary: OMG! GSE experience at Opel booth at Odeonsplatz

200 square metres of pure power and emotion – this is what the Opel presence in Munich's city centre at Odeonsplatz promises. The booth will be an absolute eye-catcher, as its design is based on the energetic ‘OMG!’ campaign, with which Opel is currently promoting the upcoming GSE models.

RACE, DRIVE and PLAY are the focus of the IAA Mobility days. ‘RACE’ will be embodied on site by  Opel Mokka GSE Rally prototype, ‘DRIVE’ by the production Mokka GSE, which customers will soon be able to drive themselves. ‘PLAY’, as the third pillar of the OMG! GSE experience at the Opel stand at Odeonsplatz, will be filled with life by Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo. The name of the newcomer speaks for itself as the extraordinary show car merges the digital and real worlds for the first time. Visitors to Munich will have the exclusive opportunity to be the first to experience Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo live and drive it in one of the world's premier racing simulators – a special version of Gran Turismo 7 from Polyphony created for Opel at the IAA.

The exciting cooperation with Polyphony is also reflected in the Opel booth, which is kept in an energetic yellow and white. Visitors are greeted by an impressive cube with a side length of around 14.5 metres and a height of 7.5 metres in a yellow ‘pixel look’, made of semi-transparent Plexiglas. The cube visually radiates the powerful GSE energy and makes a clear statement in the cityscape at the transition from Ludwigstraße to Odeonsplatz. Inside, Opel GSE fans and all interested parties will find optically floating cubes that put the vehicles in the spotlight. The centre is marked by a screen cube that also functions as a light box. It ensures that the ‘star’ of Opel's presence, Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo, shines in the right light. The colours, materials and surfaces used are in harmony with the concept car.

Ready to race? Ready to play? Avatar and racing simulator make it possible

To ensure that visitors can experience the unique OMG! GSE feeling and learn more about the characteristic German and Opel engineering, expertise and precision in development and manufacturing, Opel has created a ‘GSE Tech Lab Holobox’ especially for the Open Space both. The avatar of a racing driver helps bring the GSE technology to life with its stories – exciting, entertaining and with a high level of expertise. For example, it will provide interesting engineering facts about ‘RACE’, will talk about ‘DRIVE’ and as a hobby gamer it will explain ‘PLAY’. To this end, technical components of the vehicles will be visualised via 3D holography, and special GSE wheels and the characteristic performance seats will be on display at the booth. This allows visitors to dive deep into the technologies that make the high-performance GSE models unique and experience them from every angle.

At the front of Opel's presence in the city of Munich, gamers and hobby drivers can finally test their own high-speed racing skills and drive the Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo in a special version of Gran Turismo 7 – of course while sitting in actual GSE Performance seats. They have the chance to win exclusive prizes – provided they post the best lap times. These are also digitally displayed daily on the screen cube above Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo.

With its entire appearance at this year's IAA Mobility – at the IAA Summit as well as at the Open Space – Opel is underlining its dedication to technological precision, high-performance and an electrified automotive future that is fun and arouses emotions. In this way, visitors can experience ‘OMG! GSE’ for themselves. More information is available on the official Opel visitor website.

Epitome of GSE: Opel Unleashes Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo

• Phygital premiere: New concept car on display at IAA Mobility 2025 and playable in Gran Turismo 7 for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 this autumn
• Pure Performance: Overall output of 588 kW (800 hp), 800 Nm of torque and a top speed of 320 km/h
• Central spine: New interpretation of Opel Compass with precise horizontal and vertical elements
• Optimised aero solutions: Aero bonnet, aero blade fender flares, active aero diffusor and active aero spoiler
• Innovative and detoxed interior: Sleek steering wheel, suspended lightweight seat, illuminated fabrics

Just one week after giving a tantalising teaser of its upcoming concept car, Opel has removed the covers and revealed a first full set of images along with the name of the show car which will celebrate its world premiere at the IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich (September 8 to 14, 2025). As the name suggests, the stunning Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo not only gives a preview of upcoming GSE models. It also reaffirms Opel’s commitment to the small car segment and can be driven by everybody in one of the world’s premiere racing simulators – Gran Turismo 7, this autumn. With its stunning design paired with an overall output of 588 kW (800 hp), 800 Nm of torque and a top speed of 320 km/h the Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo represents the epitome of Opel’s GSE performance sub-brand.

“Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo takes our GSE sub-brand to the next level. It not only shows what is possible on a small car platform, it also displays a clear view to the future and appeals to all kinds of car enthusiasts. For the first time ever, an Opel concept can not only be admired from afar. This autumn everybody can drive this stunning newcomer in Gran Turismo 7 and experience OMG! GSE moments for themselves. The result of the combination of the iconic Corsa nameplate with high-performance GSE traits speaks for itself,” said Opel CEO Florian Huettl.

“We are delighted to welcome Opel back to Gran Turismo with such an exciting and innovative take on the Corsa. Opel has a rich racing heritage, and the Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo will be popular with GT players around the world. We love seeing Vision Gran Turismo cars brought to life as full-scale models and can’t wait for the reaction of fans when it is unveiled at the IAA Mobility 2025 on 8 September before it is displayed at the Gran Turismo World Series event in Berlin on Saturday, 20 September,” said Gran Turismo series producer Kazunori Yamauchi.

Powerful, efficient, highly dynamic

Outstanding efficiency paired with thrilling driving dynamics are key for the Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo. It comes with two 350 kW (476 hp) electric motors, one on each axle, and boasts a combined output of 588 kW (800 hp). In addition, the permanent all-wheel drive enhances grip, handling, and overall vehicle stability. In combination with the single-speed transmission, the Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.0 seconds and can reach a top speed of 320 km/h. Furthermore, the inclusion of a boost function that delivers an additional 59 kW (80 hp) for up to four seconds makes overtaking on the track even easier. Once fully depleted, the boost function is completely recharged in 80 seconds.

Despite coming with an 82 kWh battery, Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo only weighs in at 1170 kg. This has been achieved thanks to the use of lightweight material throughout.

Stunning technical design matches inner values

The exhilarating performance is matched by the muscular and powerful appearance with the Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo demonstrating the freedom that the STLA Small platform enables in terms of design and proportions. The concept car has a similar footprint to a Corsa but it is lower and considerably wider. Meanwhile, the overall design shows a new, more technical execution of Opel’s bold and pure design philosophy. The body sculpture displays sharp and precise feature lines combined with technical and machined details. At the front, the latest concept from Rüsselsheim sports a new slim execution of the next generation Opel Vizor. The illuminated Opel Blitz sits proudly at the centre of the signature Opel Compass, the guiding element of the design which also acts as the car’s backbone. It is flanked by signature lighting bars on the horizontal axis which end in two three-dimensional glass blocks. The vertical axis is now also illuminated around the Blitz and the centre crease extends from the front bumper into the aero-optimised bonnet.

This principle continues at the rear with the distinctive compass signature braking light created by edge lighting technology. This combines with bold “OPEL” lettering to form the central element. The wide rear compass taillamp merges with the rear window to give the tail end a bold and detoxed look. Overall, the compass is elevated to the central spine of the concept car and is emphasised both on the exterior and interior.

Optimised aero solutions and attention to detail

To ensure that the Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo remains firmly planted on the road, it features numerous clever and optimised aero solutions. Aero curtains in front of the confident front and rear fenders along with black aero blade fender flares ensure smoother airflow thus enhancing the vehicle’s handling at high speeds. In addition, the aero wheels increase efficiency by reducing air turbulence in the wheelhouses while the active aero diffusor and active aero spoiler help increase or decrease downforce depending on the driving situation.

The usual attention to detail displayed by concept cars from Rüsselsheim is another key feature of the Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo. For example, the turn indicators are hidden in the front and rear fenders and executed as slim sleeping edge lights. In addition, truncated triangular elements inspired by historic and iconic motorsport vehicles such as the Opel Manta 400 rally car have been integrated in various components with the wheel structure, the roof spoiler and the roll cage all sporting this design. And the stunning overall appearance is further emphasised by the contrasting use of colours. The body is held in pearl white, aero elements, like the bonnet, spoiler or diffusor shine in bold yellow while the roof and front aero blade fender flares are black. Even the rims follow this use of colour. The front Goodyear tyres sit on 21-inch black and yellow rims, while at the rear they sit on white and yellow 22-inch rims. In both cases, Bilstein dampers help maintain contact with the road and further improve handling.

Detoxed racing experience

Inside the cockpit, drivers can look forward to a detoxed racing experience which also follows the signature Opel Compass. The sleek steering wheel provides an unobstructed view of the most important information which is projected on the head-up display – no further screens are needed. Thus, the Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo’s cockpit offers completely new perspectives. The suspended, lightweight driver’s sport seat – also designed in black and bright yellow – with six-point seatbelts fully integrates the driver in the driving experience and together with the roll-cage ensures highest safety standards. Elsewhere, onboard sensors alert the driver to the presence of other vehicles. For example, when a vehicle enters the blind spot, a warning appears via illuminated fabrics that cover the dashboard and door inserts.

Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo represents the latest highlight in Opel’s long concept car history. The brand with the Blitz was the first European manufacturer to present a concept car in the critically acclaimed Experimental GT in 1965. 60 years later, Opel is once again breaking new ground by presenting a physical show car at the IAA Mobility 2025 which can also be played in Gran Turismo 7 and connects the brand to the gaming community. The Opel Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo draws on Opel’s strong motorsport roots and combines this with the iconic Corsa nameplate while simultaneously giving an outlook on future generations of sporty GSE models with the Blitz. In short, it represents the epitome of Opel’s highly dynamic GSE sub-brand and packages everything in an all-electric high-performance small car.

Opel Teases Stunning New Concept Car for IAA Mobility 2025

• Performance cues: GSE logo and aerodynamic wheels exude racing allure
• For the track: Slim racing steering wheel, lightweight driver’s seat and roll cage
• New interpretation: Opel Compass with precise horizontal and vertical elements

Opel has teased the arrival of its latest concept car by releasing first preview images of the vehicle that will celebrate its world premiere at the IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich (September 8 to 14, 2025). While the name is still being firmly kept under wraps, the images already reveal a clear connection to Opel’s GSE sub-brand while also hinting at the next evolutionary step of the Opel Compass.

“Our upcoming concept car will once again send pulses racing. It will preview upcoming models, impress with its stunning design and appeal to car enthusiasts around the globe. We will be revealing more details soon – so stay tuned,” said Opel CEO Florian Huettl.

The brand with the Blitz has initially published a small selection of images, each showing unique elements of the latest creation of the design team around Vice President Design Mark Adams. One of the most eye-catching features teased by the images is the further development of the Opel Compass. The illuminated Opel wordmark sits at the centre and is framed by slim and precise vertical and horizontal elements.

Elsewhere, the images confirm that the concept car will tie in with the Rüsselsheim-based brand’s recent activities regarding its high-performance GSE sub-brand. In June, Opel announced that the Mokka GSE will go into serial production – and become the brand’s first all-electric high-performance car. The inclusion of the new GSE logo on the slim racing car inspired steering wheel indicates that the brand with the Blitz will explore the boundaries of battery-electric performance vehicles with the concept car. This is further underpinned by the aerodynamic and eye-catching design of the wheels with the truncated triangular elements providing a subtle nod to historic and iconic motorsport vehicles such as the Opel Manta 400 rally car.

The motorsport and performance cues continue with the futuristic and minimalistic lightweight driver’s seat and the clearly visible roll cage: Both indicate that the concept will be very much at home on the racing track and offer a thrilling yet comfortable and safe driving experience.

Opel will reveal the name along with further information on the latest concept car from Rüsselsheim soon and it will celebrate its world premiere at this year’s IAA Mobility in Munich (September 8 to 14, 2025).

Opel Confirms Presence at IAA Mobility 2025

• Opel Blitz in Munich: One of the largest mobility events in the world to take place from September 9 to 14
• Opel CEO Florian Huettl: “Perfect platform to showcase our electrified and innovations models.”
• Strong Opel tradition at IAA: 60 years since German brand shows first European design study

German carmaker Opel has officially confirmed its participation at IAA Mobility 2025. Regarded as one of largest mobility events in world, IAA Mobility 2025 will take place in Munich from September 9 to 14. Two years ago, brand with the Blitz grabbed headlines when it unveiled stunning Opel Experimental and thus gave a clear outlook on future of brand.

“IAA Mobility 2025 provides us with perfect platform to showcase new emotional and electrifying Opel models. We already offer a battery-electric version of each model in our line-up. Furthermore, we offer additional exciting locally emissions-free solutions such as hydrogen fuel-cell drive for our Vivaro and Movano light commercial vehicles. Obviously, we have a long tradition at IAA. We were first European carmaker to present a concept car exactly 60 years ago – so stay tuned,” said Opel CEO Florian Huettl.

At IAA Mobility 2023, Opel presented groundbreaking Opel Experimental to world – and concept car from Rüsselsheim design centre was a hit with media and public alike. Many elements first shown in Opel Experimental have since been introduced in all-new Opel Grandland. New 3D Vizor integrates Opel Blitz, illuminated for first time, and innovative ‘Edge Light’ technology. At same time, all-new Opel Grandland also takes up ‘Opel Compass’ design of Opel Experimental study – vertical crease and horizontal Vizor converge with ‘electrified’ Opel Blitz emblem in centre. In addition, rear view reveals another premiere: all-new Grandland is first Opel production model to integrate the illuminated OPEL lettering inspired by Experimental into centre of its compass light signature.
