The new Opel Manta GSe ElektroMOD

▪ Tradition meets state-of-the-art: Classically beautiful Opel Manta goes electric
▪ With latest Opel technologies: LED light, Pixel-Vizor and Pure Panel cockpit
▪ For electric driving fun: With 108 kW/147 hp, manual transmission, rear-wheel drive
The name is Manta - Opel Manta. A car as timeless as Her Majesty's most famous secret agent. Launched over 50 years ago with a four-cylinder petrol engine, today the Manta is once again in top form, as the first electric MOD in the history of the German brand. The new Opel Manta GSe ElektroMOD combines the best of both worlds: the classic appearance of a style icon together with state-of-the-art technology for sustainable motoring - far removed from a classic car rally. Because the new Manta is future-proof: electric, emissions-free and full of emotions.
“The Manta GSe impressively demonstrates the enthusiasm with which we build cars at Opel. It combines our great Opel tradition with today's commitment to emissions-free mobility for a very desirable, sustainable future. Opel is already electric with many models - and now the legendary Manta is too,” says Opel CEO Michael Lohscheller.
The Opel Manta GSe ElektroMOD reflects the fascination of a growing fan community that transforms classic cars like the Manta into so-called RestoMods with modern technologies and new design. The purely battery-electric Manta is as sporty as a genuine Opel GSe and proudly displays its ambitions in its name - ElektroMOD. MOD stands for change, for technical and stylistic MODifications as well as a MODern sustainable lifestyle.
That is why the four-cylinder engine under the Opel-iconic black bonnet makes way for an electric motor with 108 kW/147 hp. The “e” in GSe now stands for electrification. This makes the new GSe the most powerful Manta A ever built by Opel ex-works. In 1974 and 1975, the Manta GT/E was the first generation’s powerhouse model with 77 kW/105 hp. The 2021 electric Manta delivers maximum torque of 255 Nm from a standstill. Now the driver has the choice of manually shifting the original four-speed gearbox or simply engaging fourth gear and then driving automatically; power is always transmitted to the rear wheels. The Manta thus remains a classic sports car - with an innovative, modernised drivetrain.
The lithium-ion battery has a capacity of 31 kWh, allowing an average range of around 200 kilometres1. As with the production Opel Corsa-e and Opel Mokka-e, the Manta GSe can also recover braking energy and store it in the battery. Regular charging takes place via a 9.0 kW on-board charger for single-phase and three-phase AC charging. This means it takes just under four hours to fully charge the Manta battery.
Visually, the Manta GSe features the new Opel face. While the Manta A was the inspiration for the Opel Vizor of the Mokka and Crossland, the ElektroMOD now has the Opel Pixel-Vizor stretched across the entire width of the vehicle. The Manta GSe can communicate with its environment across the entire surface of this LED screen. “My German heart has been ELEKTRified” is written across the new front. “I am on a zero e-mission”, the GSe explains and in the next moment shows the silhouette of a Manta ray gliding over the Pixel-Vizor. LED technology is also used in the integrated daytime running lamps, the main headlamps and the strikingly three-dimensional taillights.
The neon yellow paintwork matches the recently updated Opel CI and frames the signature black bonnet in a vibrant contrast. The wheelarches now house specially designed 17-inch light alloy wheels from Ronal, with 195/40 R17 tyres at the front and 205/40 R17 at the rear. The boot proudly displays “Manta” in the new, modern Opel script. The chrome fender trims of the original have disappeared - as was the case back then with many tuning and racing cars from Irmscher and Co.
The interior features the latest Opel digital technology. The classic round instruments are history; instead, the driver now looks at a wide Opel Pure Panel, just like in the new production Mokka.The two integrated, driver-oriented, 12 and 10-inch widescreens show important information about the car such as charge status and range. Music comes via a Bluetooth box from the legendary amplifier brand Marshall - a modern classic in a modern classic.
The sports seats with their centre yellow decor line were once developed for the Opel ADAM S. They now offer a level of comfort and lateral support far superior to that in the original Manta. The driver gets behind a Petri three-spoke steering wheel reworked by Opel. The styling of the seventies has been retained and the yellow marker in the 12 o'clock position brings another sporty touch. In addition, surfaces in the cockpit and door panels are now matt grey, which perfectly matches the neo-classic’s other yellow and black coloured elements. The ceiling of the passenger compartment is lined with fine Alcantara and completes the stylish ambience of the new Opel Manta GSe ElektroMOD.

[@sebastianzamparooo5654]

It sucks, if it has to be an EV at least make it powerful and usable, not an inflated corsa...plus,no powered windows, no disc brakes at the rear, and a manual transmission! In an electric car? Frankly, it couldn't have been any worse

[@cadenrausch741]

Are you stupid? It’s a restomod which means to combine old cars with modern technology. Of course the official car will have powered windows and no manual transmission. They will also change the charging technology to something faster. It doesn‘t need more power because it only weights 1137 KG. Think before you write a stupid comment.

[@sebastianzamparooo5654]

@@cadenrausch741 knowing them, they won't even make a production model. And despite the low weight the power remains nothing special...plus,who did tell you they will equip it with some faster charging? Concept cars are nearly always better than the production lines...and EVEN IF they reduced the charging time, 200 km of autonomy is too low, ecpecially considering that car has the aerodynamics of a brick

[@sebastianzamparooo5654]

@Samuele it is but what sense does it make in an electric car...plus,they would end up making a car which appeals to petrolheads but only dickheads who don't manage to drive manuals will be able to afford

[@cadenrausch741]

@@sebastianzamparooo5654 It’s just a concept!!!! So the Range doesn‘t matter. They definetly won‘t sell a car with a range of only 200km. Even the corsa and Mokka have a higher Range. Nearly everybody loves this car and nearly everybody want them to build it. The ceo of Opel even said himself that it would be a great idea to build the car officialy.

[@sebastianzamparooo5654]

@Samuele I like comments like yours, civilised and polite, maybe more than mine, and I'm sorry for that. Besides all this, I used to love opel as a brand and I perfectly know that low weight usually means driving pleasure, but I kinda hoped that with the electric revolution they managed to make something more powerful, at least 200hp,considering that you don't need to add much components, which you would have to do in a petrol-powered car. For the manual transmission-thing, I share your opinion but it's really the first time I see the two combined, at least as far as we talk about a 4-speed one. If it REALLY is possible, then I'm honestly going to be relieved. In general, I think they could have made this car much better and I hope that the production model (if there's ever going to be one) will have more power, range, and some better estetic featuress
