Hilmerson's Opel Manta

Opel manta with supercharged and turbocharged volvo engine.... it has 578 hp and 706 NM!

[@Soundcomplex]

Sometimes, i ask myself, if it wouldnt be a good idea for a manufacturer, to build cool and simple cars like those today. Very light, easy to maintain, without too much of all the electronic stuff, i know that at least my kids and i would appreciate.

[@magnuswf]

+Soundcomplex Safety does so that they will never be the same :(

[@Povilas7]

God dammit I wish people in Lithuania would be as interested in engineering as swedish people are. When I was in Sweden I was simply amazed how you people love cars. Biggest regards !!

[@alexanderwingeskog758]

Ha! Kul sett den själv när körde drag på Säve för måånga år sedan! Kul bygge!!!

[@cforcht]

cant understand a word they say but its an awesome car. he did a very nice job. even if its not all Opel anymore.

[@MrTTqUaTtRo]

That car would put a smile on my face every single time I would turn the key.

[@nobodynoone2500]

Looks great, has that late 90's style, but doesn't ruin the 60's-ish looks. And of course it is the volvo engine, sweedens original k-swap.

[@CptKippdotter]

Incredible!!! Have seen a swedish V12 Manta A with Jaguar rear axle 20years ago !

[@aiiRFoorCe]

Ich verstehe kein Wort, aber trotzdem ein geiler Manta!

[@mgl995]

Running about 26psi. That's crazy! God that car is badass. Sounds great, too!

[@monsterp1970]

FAST, just FAST! Amazing what you can do with so much spare time!

[@D3utsch3rK3rl16]

Ein schönes Gefährt!

[@togwm]

That is one crazy sled!!!

[@siTTinLo]

[@sear2iad]

COOL - Danke Dir!Kenne als Beifahrer (Áudi S2 Limo 502PS/634,5NM - einen Ladedruck von 1,75 bar - dass war auch schon KRASS!

[@guss435]

I remember these cars I had a scalextric with an Opal Manta nice post

[@1968spikey]

That would be a B Series GTE. This is an A Series.

[@calbackk]

The Opel Manta mk1 is such a pretty car to begin with. And he has not spoilt it, on the contrary. Would be nice to know what Mr Hilmersson is up to these days? Vad gör du nuförtiden Hilmersson?

[@kybiras1]

LOOKS AMAZING

[@airdogg1979]

sweeds make the nicest modified cars in the world.

[@sabbathian]

That is one clean engine!

[@sabinedreska]

awesome work !

[@ersguterBMW]

BEST MANTA

[@lps480]

its something about that the super c. makes a pressure thats opens a valve to the turbo, so the sc. gives the start power, and the turbo gives power at the end, but i dont speek sweedish so i dont understand it all :D

[@Synetearis]

Sounds like a blender, goes like hell!

[@chubstheclown]

That is a beautiful car, Doogie Howser.

[@exer325ie30]

[@lucassocool]

[@jozelote]

[@Stelomat]

1 lil pile of water on the street = 2 weeks of cleaning the engine :) but really really cool car looks really cool how much money did it cost to build itn up like that ?

[@EvendimataE]

in a carshow in manila in early 80's there was an opel manta on display...black in color with some red, blue, and pink....it also has some wide body works similar to those in toyota starlets..that was the best looking opel manta ive seen...but the engine is not good as the one in this video

[@Vevil85]

[@ChRiS00107]

[@MrNoahpugsley]

[@Alecks1990]

[@Tolgo999]

[@DeeJayT0mmy]

[@balbahut0g]

[@khairol7810]

[@sear2iad]

Dem kann ich nur zustimmen - (der hat z.B. eine richtig schöne Seitenansicht).Bei 1:18!

[@1979ascona]

helt klart shysst bil, önskar bara du hade en opelmotor i den, går att få ut mkt ur dom med,jättego bil annars, Thomas ;o)

[@eamh2002]

Lol at the volvo engine vs opel engine, yes the BF23 and 230 are good but all else is "oh you adjusted boost? I'mma pop my con rods" up to 1997 the 70's technology turbo engines are the good stuff. What I do know about opel engines is that they make a very good induction noise and fuel consumption is very minimal. Some might consume a bit of oil :)

[@ENKTDeeColon_and_randomnumbers]

@hawthornetheused the beetle was the first volkswagen, and hitler told the porsche-developers to make the vw, thats why the porsche looks like a chopped beetle

[@ivanklemencic]

[@4base5]

Ich sag scho immer!!! Es lebe der Manta!!!!

[@slamrahovart9024]

I do not speak this language. Was this custom body work? Or a kit? I would love those front and rear bumper additions

[@StopLookiing]

Volvo B234 Engine, probably a Volvo B230 block with a B234 (16V) head :)

[@Avslappnandeljud]

It's apparently up for grabs now on blocket.se. He's asking 50K (US) for it.

[@HeimatOstpreussen]

[@UnRoman111]
