  • Opel Rekord P2 Set Standards in the Mid-Size Class
    With a range of different versions, the Opel Rekord P2 set standards in the mid-size class. Russelsheim. One car, four variants. No other model line in the mid-size class at the start of the 60’s was as diverse as the Opel Rekord P2 launched in 1960. Alongside two and four-door sedans, Opel, a pioneer in the field of station wagons since 1953, also offered Caravan (station wagon) and delivery van versions and, from 1961, for the first time a coupé bodystyle. With optional “luxury“ appointments for the sedan and the coupé powered by a 44 kW/60 hp, 1.7-liter S-engine, Opel was aiming at new customer target groups who valued comfort and sportiness in this vehicle segment. Sales success proved the company right: with 786,411 vehicles (including 32,026 delivery vans) produced between 1960 and 1963, the Opel Rekord P2 became the biggest-selling car in the mid-size class. For a time it also occupied the number two position in the German car registration charts. Rekord P2 – “A car just as you like it” About 200 journalists from daily newspapers, trade journals, radio, television and weekly news round- ups attended the premiere of the new Opel Rekord at Rüsselsheim’s civic center in August 1960. Compared with its popular predecessor, the Olympia Rekord P1 produced from 1957 to mid1960, the new Rekord P2 had a fashionable trapezoidal shape and was also more restrained in the lines of the body. (The ‘P’ designation stood for the most important styling feature of both model series, the panorama windshield).

Beim Antriebs aggregat des neuen Opel GT kommt ein ganzes Paket von Hightech-Maßnahmen zum Einsatz: Neben Benzindirekteinspritzung und doppelter Nockenwellenverstellung ist vor allem der zweiflutige Turbolader für die impulsive Leistungsentfaltung verantwortlich, der Druckaufbau beginnt bereits ab 1.400 U/min. So stehen bei Bedarf in kürzester Zeit 194 kW (264 PS) und ein massives Dreh moment von 353 Nm zwischen 2.500 und 5.000 U/min. zur Verfügung, die den Opel GT in nur 6,3 s auf 100 km/h und eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 229 km/h beschleunigen – bei einem Durchschnittsverbrauch, der mit 9,2 l/100 km im erfreulichen Kontrast zu den gebotenen Leistungen steht. 25 Motorisierung &Fahrdynamik Motorisierung Klassisches Antriebskonzept.
