Opel GT Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1968–1973) — First Generation
The first-generation Opel GT is a compact rear-drive sports coupe with pop-up headlights and flowing bodywork, built for drivers who value light weight and simple mechanics over outright power.
Each Opel GT engine is a gasoline four-cylinder paired with a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. The 1.1 MT suits relaxed, economical driving, while the 1.9 MT adds the pulling power most owners prefer. This simple powertrain layout keeps the drivetrain light and rewarding to maintain.
