The Opel company was established more than one century ago and its cars have often been among the fastest on the planet. In 1914 a German factory at Russeiheim produced the 260hp Opel race car, which could attain astounding seed of up to 228 km/h.

The First World War interrupted Opel’s road to success, but the military defeat of the Kaiser’s Germany by the countries of the Entente almost destroyed the business altogether. However, in the 1920s Opel began to create cars capable of stunning speed: an impressive new speed record was set at 254 km/h.

At the end of the ‘20s the German company was swallowed up by General Motors. This explosive cocktail saw 100 000 Opels making their way onto the market every day.

The Second World War and co-operation with the Third Reich put a huge dent in the company’s reputation. However, towards the 1960s Opel once again began to dominate the market, bringing out the Opel GT, which continually set new standards for speed. The Opel Astra is the descendant of it. In 2000 Opel Astra gained the top position in numerous rallies.
