!NEW! Open Air Feeling in the Opel ADAM ROCKS

The urban mini crossover is equipped with a trendy Webasto fabric roof    

In cooperation with Opel, Webasto has developed the Swing Top fabric sunroof for the Opel ADAM ROCKS. The new mini crossover impresses with its trendy convertible look. The ADAM ROCKS is the right vehicle for anyone who cannot do without a feeling of freedom and an expressive design, even away from paved roads. The fabric roof brings a maximum amount of openness and light to the ADAM ROCKS.

“We are currently experiencing a renaissance of folding roofs for trendy, sporty small cars,” says Dr. Holger Engelmann, Chairman of the Management Board of Webasto SE. “Folding roofs are an interesting option in our Multi Optional Roof concept, which enables manufacturers to put a number of room systems on one vehicle interface.” 

Convertible Feeling in Five Seconds

The Swing Top fabric roof opens electrically in just five seconds. The high-quality roof stretches until just before the C-pillar, giving everyone in the car a convertible feeling. Customers can choose between the two color options black and brown. The textile roof is extremely weatherproof and resistant, and provides excellent noise insulation. Webasto uses a high-quality roof material that is also utilized in convertible roof manufacture. Thanks to a plastic frame, the entire fabric roof weighs only 13 kilograms. Another advantage of the folding roof: an attractive roof system can be integrated into the car without reducing the volume of the trunk. 

The new Opel ADAM ROCKS is now available for order in Germany.

!NEW! Opel ADAM ROCKS Concept: Freedom in its most individual form

Opel ADAM ROCKS in Geneva – New Crossover Open Air Concept

• New ROCKS Concept raises Opel ADAM to the next level of individualization
• First urban mini-crossover has fierce design and muscular proportions
• Open air freedom thanks to fabric roof
• World Premiere at Geneva Motor Show (March 7-17, 2013)

Offering 61,000 exterior variations and nearly 82,000 for the interior, as well as a state-of-the-art IntelliLink infotainment system, the lifestyle Opel ADAM is the true champion of individualization – and the best connected small car around. But that is not enough for Opel. At the Geneva Motor Show, Opel will show that it explores ways of further enhancing ADAM’s individualization and reveal an urban mini-crossover study called ADAM ROCKS. With its new 3 door body style, its 3.70 meters in length, muscular proportions, fierce design and open-air capability, ADAM ROCKS also is a proposal for opening a new segment of the market.

Showcasing how ADAM’s unique personalization program can get another twist, the ROCKS Concept has been created for those seeking personal freedom ‘off the beaten track’ beyond the urban landscape. Inspired by Parkour urban athletes, it is higher and wider on its wheels, tougher and more compact in appearance. The ADAM ROCKS’ special feeling of personal freedom is further emphasized by its cabrio looks and fabric roof that offers a free view of the sky above. The fabric extends across the entire width and length of the roof, right back to the C pillars.

“With even bolder design than any other ADAM, the ROCKS is an impressive demonstration of how much more potential for individualization our new small lifestyle car still offers after its market launch. It combines the toughness of a crossover with the coolness of open air driving,” says Malcolm Ward, Opel/Vauxhall Lead Design Director. Describing the rationale behind Opel’s newest concept car, he explains: “As a symbol for fashion-led, active drivers wanting to stand out from the crowd, ADAM ROCKS is just one possible answer to the question of how new development paths for the absolutely unique car can be forged – and others will follow.”

ADAM’s new concept will rock at Geneva Motor Show on the Opel stand, Hall 2.
