Opel will present at the next Frankfurt Motor Show concept car called Monza. Evocative names in the automotive world and in the history of the brand Blitz, it undergoes a total reinterpretation by Opel engineers and designers.
Monza. The name alone is enough to speak of motorsport, to set abyss over ninety years of competitions on a racetrack speed and how famous O circuit. Monza. The name used when read upside down by a craftsman trainer and leather goods, Aznom. Monza. A royal name for a coupe, Opel employed from 1978 to 1986 for the derivative of the two-door sedan Senator, while Vauxhall called the "Royal Cup" and that 47,000 copies were produced. This etymological ground, the return of an Opel Monza implied that it would be a cut, athletic, and radical. Well, not at all.
Majesty design
The Opel Monza 2013 is an aesthetic manifesto of future brand design, and generally is the ambassador of all its future direction. Thus, the design shows a change in the form of grille with "wings" for the chrome logo which differs from those of Adam and Insignia facelift. The optical light is clamped and consists of 2 x 2 blocks of LEDs, with a lid incorporating the signature boomerang brand. Large vents are installed in headlights with double distribution of the air flow both to the wheels and to the engine.
Laterally, the design consists of a long pavilion forms a parabola from the hood to the rear bases. The ovoid shape that results is still cut off by a large air intake, cutting back the production of the brand, Insignia, Meriva and Adam, but here put much forward by a chrome strip. Another chrome strip runs on both arches from amounts windshield to die like boomerang lights. These are very thin and installed on a rear tailgate as autoclave, while under these lights are installed two additional vents.
The entire exterior design is smooth and sleek. The opening on the inside is done by two huge butterfly door, each covering access to each side, and reveal the generous space provided this concept to its four occupants.
Of course, this design is reminiscent of many other concept cars: Renault Ondelios for architecture, Citroën DS No. 9 silhouette or Wild Ruby for lights, the Opel Insignia concept for burning the side, and even Mercedes F800 for the front and gills. But it evokes this concept monkey no other execution: Mark Adams, its surfaces show the movement of the waves on the beaches. Its size makes unclassifiable, with a length of 4.69 m and a height of 1 31 m.
