The four-seat coupe, which premiered at the 2007 Geneva Motor show, is powered by a 300 PS, 2.8-litre V6 turbo petrol engine and features an intelligent, electronically-controlled four-wheel drive system for optimum traction and stability as well as excellent agility in all driving conditions.
Interior flexibility is provided through Vauxhall’s “Flex4” system which enables the backs of both rear seats to be docked separately to the front seats by remote control, creating a spacious three or two-seater with flat load floor and up to 1020 litres of luggage compartment capacity.
Key elements of the silk grey-lacquered Coupé concept car finished with a matt grey paint begin with an aggressive front end emphasised by large aluminium vertical intakes that intersect the headlamps. These vertical elements are mirrored in the rear exhausts.
Echoing the exterior, the interior shapes and surfaces articulate a dynamic driving experience. Matt ebony surfaces are contrasted with rich high-gloss piano black décor finishes and structurally elegant aluminum accents. The U-shaped aluminum graphic on the steering wheel is reflected again on the centre console and the gear shifter, visually connecting the driving interfaces. The rotating navigation control is ergonomically positioned, allowing it to easily be located and controlled by the driver, without having to remove their eyes from the road.
The turbocharged, 300PS, 2.8-litre V6 petrol engine with two variable camshafts is combined with a six-speed manual transmission. Maximum torque of 400Nm is available from 1,850 up to 4,500rpm, and accelerating from zero to 62mph is calculated to take around six seconds. Top speed is limited to 155mph.
