Opel – Astra Cabriolet

Vehicle Overview

At the 2001 Geneva Motor Show, Opel presented the world preview of the Cabrio version of the new Astra, a racy two-door convertible with electric button-operated hood. There are three superb four valve per cylinder ECOTEC engines for the new Opel Astra Cabrio: 101 Hp 1600 cc., 125 Hp 1800 cc., and 147 Hp 2200 cc. The elegant lines are the result of the combined efforts of Opel and Bertone designers, who have come up with a design which is both sporty and elegant, surprisingly so with the top down. On the deluxe Bertone Edition a remote-controlled hood, leather seats and wind break are available on request. The first reinforced roof pillar and the steel headrest frames provide the necessary protection in the case of rolling. Together with the Astra Coupé the Opel Astra Cabrio is produced by Carrozzeria Bertone in the Grugliasco factory near Turin, where the previous Opel Cabrio Astra (1993-99) and Kadett (1987-93) were manufactured, with sales of over 100,000.
