Opel spare parts: 1980-1989

With approach of 80th years firm Adam Opel AG almost has completely changed all lineup. But on it has decided not to stop. And in 1981 from gate left modernised Ascona C with more perfect engines in volumes of 1,3 and 1,6 litres.Ascona C was issued not only in updating a hatch-back, but also with bodies a sedan, the versatile person and a compartment.

Ascona C after Kadett D, presented to 1979, became the second front-wheel car of mark Opel. And it is not casual. Initially the car reflected as "international", with classical configuration as the preference was given to the USA to a back drive. GM realised in Ascona a principle of "a uniform platform» when cars with different appearance and power units had the identical bottom, a suspension bracket, wheels. These cars belonged to the general family under name J-car. However in due course the idea has ceased to be actual. For this car knots and details delivered the different countries that has appeared is rather unprofitable. However now cars on one platform at all a rarity, and already as a rule... But we wish to notice, that the car has held on on the conveyor till 1988.

In 1982 of change have concerned "brothers" who have "not cooled down" yet after a debut — sedan Senator А2 and compartment Monza А2. Models have received decent redock and scale of new engines. Body lines combined simultaneously capacity and grace. Have not been forgotten also sports model Manta In and family sedan Rekord Е2 — they have undergone cosmetic changes.

Opel Corsa A it was created counting on young buyers or on for whom Kadett too big.

In 1983 in family Opel has appeared Corsa And which should (and to it it was possible) to capture a circle of the clients, wishing to have the car less Kadett. In family of cabriolets there has arrived replenishment — Ascona With Cabrio.

The car, on plan General Motors, began to gather not in Руссельхайме, and at factory in the Spanish city of Zaragosa. The front-wheel drive vehicle in variants a hatchback and a sedan has soon received three new engines. But, alas, it has not brought the fruits. Buyers began to lose interest to firm Opel production gradually. Guilty there was the monotonous and dullish design doing Kadett similar on Ascona, Ascona — on Rekord etc. For position correction new decisions and ideas were necessary. In the mid-eighties Opel — one of the bought most up cars in Europe. The firm has started equipment of the models каталитическими neutralizers.

In 1984 model Kadett of E.Populjarnosti of this car is published in Europe improved in the technical and aerodynamic plan the wide choice of bodies and engines promoted, first of all. The car has been awarded the European title «the Car of 1984». Kadett simultaneously became last car of the firm carrying the "militarised" name. Besides, with little changes it began to be made in South Korea under name Daewoo Nexia/Racer. A year later «to a regiment there has arrived» the version a cabriolet designed by maestro Burton.

Opel Kadett E — last representative of family Kadett, on its base it is constructed modern Daewoo Nexia.
Opel Omega A has replaced on conveyor Opel Rekord and at once has won a title of the car of year.

In 1986 Rekord the car has given way to more perfect model Omega of A.Novyj was issued with two types of bodies: a sedan and the versatile person. On it 15 various types of engines were established. The next victory in competition «Car of year» has been won.

The car has held on on the conveyor nine years. This model has subdued buyers smoothness of a course, comfort and economic characteristics. On its updating Omega Lotus the engine of British firm Lotus in volume of 3,8 litres was established and capacity of 300 h.p. It was the present sports sedan, and recently in Germany the car because of a considerable quantity of the failures connected with it, is on sale to the people having the sports licence. And no wonder: the maximum speed is equal 280 km/h, and dispersal to 100 km/h occupies 5 seconds.

Wolf in the sheep skin. Opel Omega Lotus, possessing concerning quiet appearance, hid in itself brutal possibilities. Dispersal to 100 occupied only 5 seconds, and the maximum speed made 280 km/h.



In 1987 special model Ascona Touring replaces popular Ascona GL. Then there were changes and at Senator: there was updated model Senator of V.Avtomobil was equipped with only two engines: четырёхцилиндровым in volume 2,0 litres and six-cylinder 24-klapannym in volume 3,0 litres. Трёхлитровая the version was serially equipped with an automatic check point. The maximum speed of the car made 240 km/h. But the car has not found enough of buyers, and the firm has stopped its manufacture in 1991.






Life Opel Senator B was transient. Despite good engines, the high price has made the business and has frightened off the majority of buyers.

Opel Vectra A has adopted relay race at Opel Ascona. The car has turned out very powerful and has won popularity.


In 1988 release Ascona stops, and instead of it there is much more worthy for that time model Vectra of A.Etot the car was more "licked" and extremely powerful. Was issued with two types of bodies: a sedan and пятидверный a hatchback. In April, 1989 there was an all-wheel drive updating on which the most powerful engines were put. By the way, the scale of engines was even more, than at Omega, — an order of 20 updatings including six-cylinder of 150 h.p. In the limited quantity model Vectra 4×4 turbo by capacity of 204 h.p. was issued by capacity

At the same time at Corsa sedan updating, simultaneously appearance of model was published has undergone some changes. Updating Corsa GSi has been developed also. A year later series Kadett Е has undergone to restyling. Have appeared the increased lattice of a radiator (for cooling of more powerful motor), a shock-proof bar and wide protective laths on boards.
