Car articles about Opel Manta 1200 S by year
From 1970 to 1975, Opel built the Manta A, which fulfilled all hopes with almost half a million units produced. Even today, the handsome coupé still impresses, especially the luxurious Berlinetta version. This driving report briefly summarizes the history of the Rüsselsheim coupé and describes driving impressions and reactions from the environment, supplemented by many current and historical illustrations.
In 1974, Opel finally dared to cross the 100 hp threshold with its flagship coupé Manta. Toyota had already shown this courage some time ago with its coupé star Celica GT, which mobilized 108 hp and thus had 3 hp more under the hood than the GT/E from Opel. Here is a direct comparison of these two GT versions from back then.
In the first half of '75, the Manta accounted for only 3.4% of German Opel registrations (6630 out of 191,544). It was high time for a new model. And the second edition of the Opel Manta had many convincing qualities, as the test from that time shows.
