OPEL Vectra GTS · photos, packages and modifications

The 2002 GTS was specially designed to revive the interest of customers in the Vectra which due to launch of several new vehicles such as the Ford Mondeo and Volkswagen restyled Passat, had been continuously diminishing. The vehicle came with a diagonally mounted V6 3.2 liter unit which was the largest ever unit to come with a factory Vectra. The car was propelled by the engine using a manual 6 speed transmission able to give a max speed of 154 mph, which was quite high to outrun the majority of cars that were produced at the time under the same class.

The introduction was successful and 2005 saw the facelifted hatch version. With basic technology resembling the OPC, GTC was made available with the choice 4 valve cylinder units offering capacities from 1.6 liter to 2.8 liter gasoline engines while the diesel engines ranged from 1.9 liter to 3.0 liter. Numerous trims were offered as a choice with the car and the most equipped trim besides the OPC was the V6 petrol powered 2.8 liter Turbo Temptation and the Turbo Sport along with the V6 3.0 liter CDTI, Temptation Excellence.
