The pontiac solstice/saturn sky are our version of the opels here in the states.

 

No.

You have no comparable model to be honest

What you mean is the Opel GT, turbocharged.


but it's correct if you mean the brand, the Opel Astra is the Saturn Astra, the Saturn Aura is basicly an Opel Vectra


You can see an Opel Speedster in the movie "National Security" with Martin Lawrence.

It's a bright orange one with a German licence plate, it passes Martin Lawrence as he tries to stop a car on the bridge and later in the movie it stands in the driveway in front of a house.

 

Our non-turbo models aren't similar to the non-turbo opels?

 

You're thinking of two completely different cars. The Opel Speedster/Vauxhall VX220 is the Elise-based car...transverse mid engine in the back rear wheel drive. You're thinking of the Opel GT, which is the rebadged Sky off of the same platform. Front transverse engine RWD, developed years later. I think the only thing they have in common is an Ecotec engine.

 

^got it right

To make the mixup compelete, Daewoo also has an Saturn Sky'ish car, the G2X --> Google helps


The Lotus Elise, the Opel Speedster and the Vauxhall VX220 share the same paltform.


A completely different car is the Opel GT which shares it's platform with the Pontiac Solstice, the Saturn Sky and the Daewoo G2X

 

Just made this, the kid forgot to put on the filler cap on the tank and went for a lap on the Nordschleife bwahahaha

 

Didnt hear about the Daewoo version. That badge on the back sure is hideous.

Wow...what did the track officials do about it?

 

Probably nothing.

If they find out I bet that guy has to pay the clean up.

 

More pictures, just received them from some guys I know


BMW E24 635 CSi "Jägermeister"


BMW E36 M3 GT (only 350 of them were made)



BMW E46 M3 CSL


Ferrari F430 Scuderia


Honda NSX with "The Stig" in it lol


Mercedes Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Series



Mercedes Benz CLK DTM AMG (only 100 made)


Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V


Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII


Nissan 200sx S14a (thats one of my buddys)


The GT-R


Nissan Skyline R33, maybe a GT-R, but I think it's more a GTS-T


Skyline after crash




TVR Chimaera



one of the few Mk. IV Twin Turbo Supras


and the infamous "open filler cap" Volkswagen Polo rofl




These pictures are from Monday of a photoshoot for the German car magazine AutoBILD

the brand new Ford Focus RS





awesome Ford RS200.......there's one of them in the new F&F movie, next to it a "Dogbone" RS2000


that black car in the back is a Ford Sierra Cosworth

 

As always, I'm extremely appreciative of the bunch of pics of sweet cars from Germany! Awesome.

Stig helmet. Sweet. Wasnt sure if they were available to the public..can only imagine how expensive they are.

I think you're right about the R33, doesnt look like a GT-R. GT-Rs always have fender bulges, not unlike the E30 M3.

The Evo VII pictured has a Evo IX front. It might be a 7 since all of the body parts but the bumper are the same and interchangeable, but thats a 9 front. I do like the factory lip add on. The DTM is also hot; so rare I doubt I'll ever see one.

I just noticed that the MkIV has had reduction surgery on the factory wing...dang thats hot.

Focus RS and RS200...damn. Those are some hot Fords..wish they came over here in decent quantities.
