Vehicle Description
First revealed in the summer of 2000, the Opel Speedster was a
British-built sports car. General Motors partnered with Lotus to
produce the car utilizing an Elise chassis with a General Motors
2.2-liter Ecotech inline 4-cylinder engine producing 145hp, backed
with a 5-speed manual transmission. The chassis utilizes a
lightweight aluminum tub weighing only 159 pounds; combined with

the car well-balanced and nimble handling capabilities. It was sold
