Opel Commodore GS/2.8
(1970 - 1972)
Car articles about Opel Commodore GS/2.8 by year
Of course, the Opel Commodore GS/E was a simple design compared to other high-performance sedans. However, one must not forget that nowhere else was there 150 hp for so little money - if at all. High driving performance, low maintenance costs and good workmanship make the sporty fuel-injected Opel a worthy alternative to BMW and Mercedes, as this historical test report shows.
During the first test in February, the snow and ice meant that we were able to guess rather than definitively experience how much explosive power the Rüsselsheim-based company had put into the most powerful Commodore version. In March, however, the Commodore GS / E had a free run on the Lausanne-Geneva highway, which it took quite brutally. The Motor Show was a kind of birthplace for the Commodore models: the basic model was presented in 1967, followed by the GS/E with computer-controlled Bosch petrol injection in 1970. The refreshed and re-edited Hobby report from 1970 shows how the test drivers of the time saw the car.
With the 2.8-liter injection engine from the Opel Admiral, the Commodore GS/E 1972 became a Euro-sized muscle car. Even the otherwise so critical car testers openly spoke out in favor of its unreasonableness: If a Commodore, then a proper one. Why bother with the smaller engines? This article introduces the Opel Commodore B and shows a picture of a GS/E coupé from 1974.
