Body

The design targeted a peak of aerodynamics, and reached the drag coefficient of 0.235 cw, not least caused by the panoramic windshield. The face was a predecessor of the 1986 Opel Omega, which is successor of Opel Rekord E. The hubcap design came in mass production.[2][3]

Interior

All controls are push buttons. Only steering wheel, gear lever and foot controls were conventional.
