[@jeremyj.5687]

What a beautiful car! Even though I´m not generally a fan of Opel/Vauxhalls, I love everything about it: The styling, the sound, the technology - everything.

[@DobeliusDobbe]

Astra G yes! The ending footage with the sun shining was especially nice.

[@MrYardcore68]

that up and down shifting sound! I love that shit!....

[@SetMyLife]

The 60 frames really underline the reaction times of racing!

[@princze89]

Totally agreed. It looks beautiful with 60 fps!

[@MrEli204]

Love the knight rider steering wheel.

[@3800S1]

best sounding v8 ever! awesome as.

[@janci1992]

I need this car in my garage right now

[@СергиусКачкаев]

Обожаю Опель этот прекрасный звук движка и секвинталки👍💪🙏🙌💞🤗👌😃😋

[@RefianS]

Is it naturally aspirated? or boosted? sounds like supercharged to me....

[@MPZRACEVIDEO]

its a regular 4.0 liter V8 engine, not supercharged.

[@fontheking5]

The whine is from the straight cut sequential gearbox, which race cars use.

[@madmax43v3r]

do they have traction control?

[@MPZRACEVIDEO]

Yes, they do.

[@kallo182]

+Hugo No they dont. DTM Cars havo No Driving-Aids. No Traction Control. No ABS. No Nothing. Maybe the new Owner of the Car build some TC in. But DTM, and this Car never had any Driving help.

NILL driver aids

[@eecak1973]

Is this a one off 4 litre race engine, as i dont recall Opel making a 4 litre engine before?

[@Hillclimbfan1990]

Opel used a 4.0L V8 for their DTM cars from 2000-2003.

[@drakenfire2189]

@@Hillclimbfan1990 it was 2000-2005 period with both Astra and Vectra having 4.0L V8 engine

[@Matt-qh5sm]

Its a oldsmobile aurora racing engine used in indycar, Imsa and LMP but detuned and restricted

[@HotForgeChaos]

Definitely not your average Disastra

[@vspinkboi]

I don't get why he takes like an hour to launch the car after hes gotten the okay to go

[@jasonstalder5208]

time starts when you leave the gate

[@Chris_KAy]

We are selling one if someone is interested!

[@RoperMotorsportTV]

Better not compare it with Keith Richards Quattro!!!! That is one slow opel

[@081588101]

[@MrManuel1329]

[@081588101]
