Extremely sporting look and exceptionally high road performances are the things for the Opel Tigra GT/R study which was launched as a world premiere at the ESSEN-MOTOR-SHOW 1996. |
|
The prototype which is developed up to series production, demonstrates the high technical and design potential of STEINMETZ Opel-Tuning: Our engineers and designers created a very sporty version of the Opel Tigra 1,6 16V which doesn't only captivate with its exciting wide body but particularly with the implantation of a 2.0 litre 16V Ecotec engine which is powered up to 170 hp / 125 kW. |

Equipped like this the STEINMETZ Tigra GT/R took part in category lower cars at the "sport auto Tuner Grand Prix 1998". The automotive magazine "sport auto" wrote: "But it was no match for the perfectly prepared Opel Tigra GT/R by STEINMETZ. |
|
None of the competition came within reach of its lap time of 1.20,53 minute. With just 170 HP, optimum chassis set-up and the driving skills of Manfred Wollgarten, the sturdy STEINMETZ Tigra raced to an easy class win." |
