Head-turner.
The new Astra GTC has been designed to turn heads. To raise pulses. And to make owning a concept car a reality. Sporty and sleek, the exterior design of new GTC catches the eye with dramatically sculpted shapes. The chiseled shoulder lines harmonize with the muscular wheel flairs – the widest fender side panels ever done at Opel. It was a true challenge getting them into the metal press – but we found a way, because we truly wanted to build an accessible dream car.
FRONT.
One look at the face of the Astra GTC is all it takes – to feel the passion. The large trapezoidal grille, set low in the front bumper, emphasizes the feeling that this car would be at home on the racetrack. The dynamic light design signals sporting intent – a signature blend of the “eagle eye” shaped bi-xenon headlamps and wing-shaped LED daytime running lights. The familiar chrome bar with logo has been further refined and sits prominently above the grill. The signature Opel centre crease is complemented by the strong "bone lines" running forward from the A-pillars.
SIDE.
Flowing lines, seamless transitions and a dramatic shoulder line – the profile of the Astra GTC is poetry in motion. The sleek coupé-like silhouette harmonizes with the Opel "blade" sculpted into the lower flanks to help define the poised, athletic attitude of the GTC. The deeply contoured shoulder line draws the eye in, surging back from the door handle to the rear light cluster.
Rear.
Strong and sleek. In the rear, the GTC’s signature shoulder line combines with the sleek roofline to highlight the wide track road presence. The dramatically shaped rear light clusters, LED tail lamps and contoured spoiler also make their mark here. A black lower bumper panel adds contrast and lightness while housing the sporty chrome exhaust pipe and license plate.
