New Opel Astra GTC - you saw it first right here @ AutomobloG


Vauxhall has unveiled its new Astra GTC, a sleek rival to the Volkswagen Scirocco and Renault Megane Coupe. It’s the three-door version of the Astra hatchback, and as is increasingly common with this class of car, it gains a coupe moniker and much sportier styling than its more practical sibling.



The most exciting news for us lies under the skin, though. The Astra is already dynamically great but the GTC aims for greater driver involvement still. The high performance strut (HiPerStrut) anti-torque steer system from the Insignia VXR is fitted to help transfer the Astra GTC’s power through its front wheels, while the acclaimed Watt’s link rear suspension that makes existing Astras so good to drive remains.
