Opel to reintroduce GSE sub-brand for dynamic models.

GSE – three letters with a very clear connotation for Opel customers: highly-equipped, sporty models. Today, with the German carmaker's clear plan to offer an electrified version of each model in its portfolio by 2024 and to be a fully electric brand in Europe by 2028, Opel is reviving and redefining GSE as a new range-topping sub-brand. Unlike in the past when the label was the abbreviation of “Grand Sport Einspritzung” (Grand Sport Injection) as on the Commodore GS/E and the Monza GSE, it will have a new meaning going forward.

In addition to athletic looks based on Opel's award-winning design, future #gse customers can look forward to a chassis set-up to deliver a high level of driving fun and engagement. And like all Opel models, the GSE line-up will be “Autobahn proof” thanks to extensive testing on German motorways. Simultaneously, GSE models will combine these values with the option of locally emissions-free mobility, thus redefining the performance Zeitgeist.

Opel most recently presented the Manta GSe, a modern take on the legendary Manta from 1970. It shows how timeless the lines from 1970 still are today. What was sculptural and straightforward half a century ago still fits perfectly with the Opel design philosophy today. It takes a strong, clear stance and confidently starts a new future: electric, locally emission-free – full of emotions. The Opel Manta GSE is also a tribute to the beautiful Manta A that most recently provided the inspiration for the design of the new brand face – the Opel Vizor, which organically integrates into one single module the grille, the lighting system and the Blitz brand emblem. All new Opel models feature the Vizor – including the new Opel Astra and Opel Astra Sports Tourer.
