(1981 - 1984)
Car articles about Opel Manta i240 by year
In 1970, Opel presented the Manta as a competitor to the Ford Capri, designed by Charles M. Jordan and with clear echoes of Ferrari sports cars. Technically, the Manta was based on the Ascona, which did not change with its successor, the Manta B. This report describes the history of the popular family sports coupé, of which over one million were produced, and shows it in many historical and current illustrations.
When Opel developed a Group B successor to the Ascona 400, the decision was made to use the Manta as the basis and to continue with rear-wheel drive. There was, however, a four-wheel drive prototype, but it was never used in racing. With only 245 vehicles built, the Opel Manta 400 remained an exotic model. This vehicle report tells the story of the homologation vehicle and shows a road-going version in many pictures.
