Photo Gallery «Opel Diplomat CD Frua Coupé - Grandezza with eight cylinders»
In 1969, Opel presented a styling study called the Opel CD at the IAA, which was a long way from series production. Nevertheless, the positive response motivated those responsible at Opel to commission Pietro Frua to create a version closer to series production. The result was the Opel Gran Turismo HS V8 coupé, sometimes also known as the Coupé Diplomat Frua or CD Frua. Unfortunately, this model was also subsequently denied series production, but the basic lines and many ideas of the Bitter CD were eventually built several hundred times in Germany. This article describes the history of the two Frua coupés built on the basis of the Opel Diplomat and shows the cars in historical and modern pictures.
