The Opel GT is a front-engine, rear-drive two-seat sports car manufactured and marketed by
Opel in two generations — separated by a 34-year hiatus. The first generation Opel GT debuted
as a styling exercise in 1965 at the Paris and Frankfurt motor shows. The production vehicle
used mechanical components from the contemporary Opel Kadett B and two-door hard top
bodywork by French contractor Brissonneau & Lotz. The styling of the GT was often cited as
similar to the 1968 Chevrolet Corvette. The Opel GT uses a steel unibody and a front
mid-engined, rear-wheel drive layout. The engine is mounted far back in the chassis to improve
weight distribution. Front suspension consists of upper A-arms and a lower transverse leaf
spring — aside from the Opel's styling, the unusual use of a transverse leaf-spring in the
suspension was another remarkable commonality with Chevrolet's Corvette
