Opel has released more information and pictures of the GTC Concept ahead of the Paris Motor Show. The German-based company, who sell their cars in the UK under the Vauxhall brand, has revealed details about the car’s power figures. The GTC Concept’s turbocharged 2.0-litre four-pot engine is able to generate 290hp. This is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission that complements its power with a limited slip differential.
Help keeping the car stable is Opel’s FlexRide suspension and a crank rear axle with a Watt’s link. The GTC show car for Paris sits on 21-inch wheels, optimized with carbon-fiber inserts which enclose the center caps. This is finished off in a liquid metal red exterior colour scheme.
A picture gallery with interior images is available after the jump.

fiesta on steriods ?
more like astra on steriods. Is this front wheel drive since no staggered wheels?
Nice car, wonder when this brand will be available again in malaysia after long time disappearance. Seen few hot opel units in singapore. look so promising and durable.
wow, 290bhp from a 2 litre. pretty good for a standard tune.
i do not understand why car companies end with excellent cars only when they are forced with a gun on their head(read as bankruptcy and sell outs)
maybe they are following “if it ain’t broke (bankrupt perhaps?), don’t fix it (read ‘strategy overhaul’).” principle………..hopefully opel can pull this off too.
2.0L turbocharged to 290hp? That is small matter compared to Lancer Evo and Impreza WRX STi.
beside Renault Magane RS250 cup, this is 2nd hot hatch on my wishlist
it has smiley face!! like mazda,, hhaha
I want to change the “Speed” to “Opel GTC Paris Concept” in the last picture. This car is pure sexy…..
Well HELLO, baby.
That center cluster is stunning! In fact the entire interior is well balanced, nice experience.
the front looks a bit like the Toyota Ft-86..well thats wht i think
