Valentino Rossi and designer Aldo Drudi have teamed up to create a special Opel Adam for the Meyer Children’s Hospital Foundation in Florence, Italy.
The car takes inspiration from Rossi’s racing livery for the interior and exterior. The interior is even covered in Dainese leather, just like Rossi’s racing suit.
“The task was to invent a completely new car, and for a good cause. No sooner had I spoken with Opel than I was already discussing with Drudi how to design this special Adam,” said Rossi.
Drudi says that the design phase took quite a long time because Rossi was very particular about how he wanted the car to look.

Opel
Opel entered the automobile business in 1899, selling Opel-Lutzmann cars, the first of them being the “Patent Motor Car”. Partnership between Opel and Lutzman was terminated in 1901 and Adam Opel’s son initiated a new contract with the French carmaker Darracq that allowed the German company to built Opel-Darracq cars. These cars received their chassis from Darracq and their bodies from Opel.
