Beschreibung
7207 examples of the Opel Speedster and identical Vauxhall VX 220 were built between 2001 and 2005. The Opel is based on the Lotus Elise and was also built at the Lotus factory in Hethel. The rigid aluminium chassis is glued and riveted, the body is made of fibreglass-reinforced plastic. The Speedster on offer was registered in Switzerland in 2002 and modified for motorsport in 2004 . A "Wilbers" suspension was installed, the steering geometry was changed and a front stabiliser was fitted. The engine control unit was adapted and the intake tract optimised. Instead of the exhaust collector, the car has Y-pipes and an exhaust system without catalytic converter. The interior was cleaned out to reduce weight and bucket seats with harness straps were fitted. Improved brake ventilation and brake lines. Polyester roof, etc. With this Speedster, motorsport can be enjoyed with a manageable budget and a high level of competitiveness.
