Opel Speedster Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2000–2005) — First Generation
The first-generation Opel Speedster is a compact Targa sports car with a light, driver-focused layout. Use this page to understand that generation and how its open-roof body shapes the way the car feels.
You get a petrol Opel Speedster engine working through a manual gearbox, so the powertrain stays involving on the road. In Targa examples such as 2.0 MT and 2.2 MT, the drivetrain is rear-wheel drive: you choose the gear, and the car sends that effort to the rear axle.
