Specifications
The GTC is powered by a turbocharged 2.8 L (171 cid) V6 engine from the High Feature family, also used in the standard Vectra, but tuned in the GTC to produce 300 hp (224 kW) and 295 lb⋅ft (400 N⋅m) of torque. The base and floorpan came from a General Motors Epsilon II platform but was modified for all wheel drive to apply the power effectively.
The car was capable of 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 6.0 seconds, and a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).
Influence
The Opel Vectra went out of production in July 2008. Design cues of the Opel GTC were used on the Opel Insignia, an upmarket replacement for the Vectra. However, a coupé version of the Insignia was not made available.
