1982 – Opel Corsa Spider


The spectacular fiberglass “Corsa Spider” concept car was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1982. Cover plates were used to complete the transformation from a four-seater to a two-seater.

In the same way, covering the front passenger seat gave the Spider the look of a single-seat race car. Much to the dismay of many fans, Opel did not put the “Corsa Spider” into production.

The prototyp was only a rolling shell, no engine, no brakes, no steering.

It still exists, it's in the Opel Collection in Rüsselsheim

That looks wierd, kind of how a spider crossed with ades puntova would look lol

Also worth searching for a michalak that looks very similar to the Concept spider. Luckily Opel didnt put it into production but Irmscher did. Good old Gunther!!
