The Opel Speester is a Automobile of exception produced by Opel of 2001 with 2003 for its first version, then until in 2006 under several versions. It was produced for Opel at Lotus in Great Britain.

This small Cabriolet, based on a Lotus Elects, caused to instigate the public image and to bring a little freshness and originality to its range.

As of its marketing, Speedster slices with the remainder of the range of Opel thanks to its aggressive and frayed lines. In spite of its distribution quasi-confidential in countries like France, the roadster guard very warm welcome of the public. The Paradoxe is that Opel made this car its emblem, while succeeding in very distributing it only to small scales. This is due partly to the fact that the dealers Opel, more accustomed to the cars of the type trucks and family, reserved a rather cold reception with small the roadster breaker of habits (and of heart). It should nevertheless be recognized that this reception was not everywhere the same one, in particular in England, where Speedster was sold 7 times more than in France.

The manufacturer produced starting from 2003 mechanically more thorough versions of small the Cabriolet, of which the Turbo version of 200ch, it even taken again for special versions Scorpions and VXR.

In spite of the years, the equipment of Speedster remains always also brief. Indeed, as the cars of circuit, this one has only little equipment and interior completion that some qualify " légère". Quality and comfort not being its ground of predilection, Speedster had evil to be essential in the sphere of the convertibles of Luxe which them, make a priority of it.

Of occasion, this convertible remains however an accessible alternative for the enthusiasts for big thrills which do not wish to pay fortunes in parts and maintenance.
