Celebrating the Art of Italian Coachbuilding

Opel Astra Coupé

The Opel Astra Coupé designed by Bertone.

Vehicle Overview

The Opel Astra Coupé made its striking debut at the 58th Frankfurt Motor Show, signaling a bold and dynamic evolution of the Astra lineup. This sleek two-door model brought a fresh, sporty identity to the range, designed to appeal to drivers seeking both performance and style. One of its defining visual features is the seamless integration of the black door frame and second roof pillar, which together form a single, continuous lateral design element. This, combined with the flowing lines of the bodywork, conveys a sense of power and understated elegance. A standout aerodynamic coefficient of just 0.28 further enhances the car’s sporty appeal, aided by wrap-around bumpers and aggressive air inlets that give the front end a purposeful, athletic presence. To complement its new character, the Astra Coupé’s chassis was lowered by 20 mm compared to the standard model, optimizing handling and stance to suit its performance ambitions. Under the hood, the Astra Coupé offered a choice of three spirited ECOTEC engines: a 115-horsepower 1.6-liter, a 147-horsepower 1.8-liter, and a thrilling 190-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged variant. These options allowed drivers to choose the level of performance that best suited their driving style while enjoying the refined ride quality and control that Opel engineered into the model. Beyond performance, the Astra Coupé also impressed with its extensive personalization options. A wide palette of body colors could be paired with tastefully styled interiors, including sport seats that reinforced the car’s dynamic character. Designed and built at the renowned Bertone facility in Grugliasco, the Astra Coupé represents the collaboration between cutting-edge engineering and Italian design finesse. In every sense, the Opel Astra Coupé was created for those who sought an ideal balance between everyday practicality, bold styling, and exhilarating driving performance.
