The Opel GT was equipped with a base 1.1 L OHV inline-four engine,
which produced 67 hp (SAE) at 6,000 rpm. However, most buyers chose
an optional 1.9 L camshaft in head engine, which produced 102 hp
(SAE) at 5200 to 5400 rpm. Some of the early 1968 models also came
with a slightly higher compression "H" code cylinder head. In 1971,
due to emissions regulations, Opel reduced the compression ratio of
the 1.9 L engine used in the US and output fell to 83 hp (SAE).
There was also a GT/J model, which was a less expensive version of
the 1900-engined GT which was sold only in Europe. Standard
transmission was a manual four-speed. A three-speed automatic was
available with the 1.9 L engine. The model run of the Opel GT was
from 1968 to 1973.
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. A live axle and coil springs are used in the rear. The
power-assisted braking system uses discs in the front, drums in the
rear. Steering is unassisted.
