Essen 2007: Opel GT by Steinmetz

The abbreviation GT in cars stands for "Gran Turismo" or "Grand Touring". In these vehicles, emotions run higher and passions rise when you take such a car on a grand tour.

The new Opel GT sets standards even as a series roadster, and in the hands of Steinmetz it becomes a Limited Edition which simply invites you to travel or just cruise.

Exhaust:

For the first time, the twin rear silencer system has been designed with a round outlet. Made fully from stainless steel and with a throaty, sonorous note, the silencer also improves gas flow and gives the rear an even more dynamic impression. A pleasure for driving with the top fitted or open.

Lowering:

Getting closer to the road and being able to take corners with more safety reserves without loss of driving comfort, that's where the Steinmetz engineers placed their emphasis in designing the Steinmetz lowering kit. The Steinmetz GT, lowered by 20 mm, handles both the Nurburging and all situations in road traffic with equal agility.

Wheel/Tyre Combination:

New to the Steinmetz range, for the Steinmetz GT an alloy wheel is already available in 20". Anthracite with a matt finish, the new wheel reflects the light with unsurpassed effect. The range for the GT also includes the ST3 in 18" and 19", and the ST4 in 18". For tyres, we recommend Continental and Michelin.

	5-hole	Tyres
ST3	8.0 x 18"	225/40 R18
	8.0 x 19"	225/35 R19
ST4	8.0 x 18"	225/40 R18
ST7	9.0 x 20"	245/35 R20

Bodywork/Aerodynamics:

Lowered and with new wheels, the GT from Steinmetz is finished with the traditional Steinmetz front grille in honeycomb design. The two-piece front spoiler from Steinmetz with outlined air intakes next to the foglamps gives the viewer a hint of the dynamism ready on tap for any journey in the Steinmetz GT. Always a GT, for "Grand Touring".
