Opel GT/W Geneve Concept 1975

In Geneva in 1975, Opel revealed a beautifully streamlined two-seater, the “Genève”. Engineered to take a Wankel-type rotary engine, its original name was “GT/W” (“W” for Wankel).

However, GM dropped its Wankel development program before the car was completed. Opel Design renamed it and exhibited its fiberglass mock-up as an eye-catcher at the show.

Way Down South
Great lines from any angle, particularly rear 3/4; love the hatch/side window, very clean.
The lower edge of the windshield curving into the door glass line is simple and elegant.

A baby version of GM's stillborn Wankel Corvette... a shame neither was built.
