The Opel Manta GSe ElektroMOD is an electric redesign of the Opel Manta, with advanced technology. It has a "pixel visor"[1] and a digital cockpit. Unusual for an electric car, it has a 4-speed manual transmission. Its primary colour is yellow, which is Opel's new corporate colour[2] and this car includes 2 LED ultra-thin headlights. It is a 2-door coupe with two main screens in the interior. A screen has a speedometer, a tachometer and a fuel gauge, but it shows how much charge it has rather than fuel. The other screen is a SatNav.
On its grille, it can display "I'm on a zero e-mission", "My German heart has been ELEKTRified!" and "I'm an ELEKTROMOD".[3] The grille is very similar to the second generation Opel Mokka and the Opel Crossland facelift.[4] It is one of the first models under the new GSe sub-brand[5] and it is limited to 150 km/h (93 mph).
The front suspension is more stiff and firm at the front of the car, however, the back of the car has a lot less stiffness, so that there is more traction. The 31 kWh lithium-ion battery is located a bit forward from the boot, and in the interior, it includes two seats in the front and two seats in the back, making it a four-seater. In the glovebox[6] there is a switch to turn on recuperation, and the steering wheel does not have anything on it, despite a button for a horn, just like any car from the 1970s.
History
The Opel Manta GSe ElektroMOD was first shown March 15, 2021,[7] as a modern electrified Opel Manta, and it was later put on Opel's official website as a concept car. The Opel Manta was sold with a 4-speed manual transmission, it was called Europe's first affordable muscle car, but stopped production in 1988,[8] and the electric concept of the Opel Manta was released 33 years later.
After the GSe was introduced, two new automobiles were shown: the Opel Manta GSe ElektroMOD and the Opel Astra GSe.[9] It is said that the Opel GSi brand will go defunct in 2023, and for the GSe sub brand to take over.
