Kapitän 1951 - 1970
The Kapitän was the first 6-cylinder built in Germany after WW-2. With the Kapitän Opel also introduced it's first automatic transmission. The 2.6 liters 6-cylinder's displacement had 90 HP. The car could accelerate from a standstill to 150 km/h top speed in highest gear.

Kadett 1962 - 1990
The Kadett was Opel's answer to the VW Beetle. In 1967, cars came with the 1.7 and 1.9 liter Rekord engine. At almost 170 km/h, it was a real performance in this segment.
The GSI 16 V with it's fully emission controlled engine delivered 150 HP out a 2 liter engine - that was in 1984.

Ascona 1970 - 1988
As a successor to the Olympia, Opel presented two models in 1970: the Ascona and the Manta. They shared the rear axle with the Kadett and the engines with the Rekord. In 1975, the second generation Ascona was bigger than the previous model in every dimension and had a 2.0 liters with 110 HP as top-of-the-line engine.

Manta 1970 - 1988
The Opel Manta shared its mechanical components with the Ascona. The Manta achieved years of success and had one if not the longest Opel model life span ever. It was built for 13 years until it was replaced by the Calibra in 1988.

Senator - Monza 1978 - 1986
The Senator and Monza marks the continuation of Opel in the larger sedans market. The most powerful engine available was a 3.0 liters fuel injection with 180 HP that accelerated the Monza from 0 to 100 Km/h in 8.5 seconds and gave it a top speed of 215 km/h. Back then this was Porsche 928 territory!

Omega Lotus 1990-1993
The Omega Lotus runs from 0-100 Km/h in a mere 4.5 secs. Even figures for serious supercars like the Ferrari Testarossa and Porsche 911 Turbo trailed in most areas, leaving only the Lamborghini Diablo as a true match in all-round performance.
Power is delivered by a 3.6-litre, 24V twin-cam 377 HP straight-six engine with a pair of Garrett T2 5 turbos. 1,100 Omega Lotus were built.
