The Opel GTC Paris concept car embodies the passionate side of Opel: Its role is to show how Opel can 'dial up'Â the brand's now established design direction by creating a very sporty and emotional interpretation. The Opel GTC Paris is designed to be artistically sculpted using sweeping dynamic lines. At the same time, it is engineered with German precision and energized with technical innovation, like a 2.0 liter Turbo gasoline engine with direct injection, a new execution of the fully adaptive FlexRide suspension and an limited slip differential in the front.

This three-door sporty hatch is pure but sporty, simple but expressive and at the same time bold and iconic. Keeping in line with Opel's DNA, it is an achievable dream car, conceived to showcase an energized brand. This energy is also conveyed by the vibrant and expressive Liquid Metal Red exterior color.

Coming close on the heels of the new generation Astra Sports Tourer which will also debut at the Paris motor show, the Opel GTC Paris is how Opel envisions the next logical step of a newly shaped line-up.

Exterior design: Muscular lines like tendons on a sprinter At 4.46 meters, the Opel GTC Paris is the ideal size for a compact, sporty car, which still offers room for five. In profile, the designers have maximized drama by limiting the amount of lines in the Opel GTC Paris. Three strong lines create tension and provide a sculpted shape. The Opel signature blade is introduced in the same direction as first seen in the Insignia -- a fine, crisp line that sweeps upward from the rocker at the beginning of the front door. A second line encapsulates the door handle and sweeps to the rear, emphasizing the vehicle's dramatic stance by spreading the surfaces to a fine undercut and a broad shoulder. The third line following the silhouette of the roof is finished in finely brushed aluminum accentuating the window graphic, which guides the eye to the

Following Vauxhall's recent announcement of its stunning Vauxhall GTC Paris concept at this year's Paris Motor Show, the company has now revealed first pictures of the car's interior.

Echoing the Vauxhall GTC Paris's exterior design cues, the cabin features sweeping lines and shapes, and a bold and unique use of fabric. Creating a 'Ëœpositive/negative' effect across the front of the cabin, the driver's seat is trimmed in red with black highlights, while the front passenger's seat has black trim with red highlights.

Each of the front buckets seats is bespoke to the Vauxhall GTC Paris and has aggressively shaped contours to complement the car's sporting intent. The GTC logo appears on each seat-back facing, along with titanium inserts that mirror the design cue seen on the front wheel's carbon fibre inserts.

The small black leather racing steering wheel has metal inserts, while on the dashboard Vauxhall's recurring 'Ëœwing' and 'Ëœblade' motifs can be seen. In this application, the blade appears in details like the polished chrome door grabs and the gearshift moulding. The wing design cue is evident in the wraparound instrument panel that embraces front seat occupants and arcs across the cabin into the tops of the door mouldings.

Vauxhall's design team has used micro-fibres and leather for the seats, a textured black material for the instrument panel and plush carpeting throughout the cabin's flooring.

The Vauxhall GTC Paris gives the strongest hint yet at what buyers might expect from the next Astra 3-door when it's unveiled at this year's Paris Motor Show on September 30.

Designed by Brit, Mark Adams' design team, the concept's lines are radical and svelte, yet restrained enough to suggest that the car is tantalizingly close to a production offering. Mark has described the concept as, 'Ëœbold, pure and iconic' in its appearance, yet it will still offer ample space for five people and their luggage.
