It’s as green and fresh as the Opel ‘Laubfrosch’ (Tree Frog) of the 1920s, as confident and provocative as today’s youngsters.
With the Frogster concept, Opel has reinvented today’s small car concept, presenting a host of fresh ideas for the next generation of car buyers. Instead of a conventional convertible top, the study has an electrically powered roller cover to provide weather protection. It offers a choice of configurations: With four individually foldable seats, the driver can turn the Frogster into a one or two-seat roadster, three or four-seat convertible or a pick-up – all at the push of a button. When it’s time to park, the cover slides forward – like a shutter – to close at the base of the windshield
.In addition, this bright green quick-change artist features a mini-computer installed in the center of the dashboard. The Frogster is thus always in its driver’s pocket because this ‘PDA’ is not just a Personal Digital Assistant but also a radio-controlled ‘car key’ and roller-cover operator. When integrated in the Frogster’s center console, the PDA also becomes a display for the radio, navigation and climate control systems.
