city car that will be shown to the public at the Paris Motor Show and will go on sale in Europe in January. While small, Opel is positioning the Adam to by very stylish and packed with technology.
To start, the Opel will be offered in red, blue, burgundy and yellow. To set off the color the top comes in either black or silver. It is 3.7m long and 1.72m wide. The roof is meant to look like it is floating above the car. It will have optional LED front and rear lights.
“The new Opel ADAM offers lots of growth potential for our brand. We are very proud that our fashionable small car brings German engineering excellence to its segment. In fact, the ADAM is the only A-segment car that will be exclusively built in Germany. We are sure that it will get a fantastic reception in Paris at its world premiere in September," said Opel CEO Karl-Friedrich Stracke.
Power will come from three tunes of two engines initially. There will be a 1.2 liter with 70hp, a 1.4 liter with 87hp and a 1.4 liter with 100hp. They all come with a five-speed manual transmission. All of the engines will have an EcoFlex option that adds stop/start. Opel also says that it will be adding a brand new direct-injected, turbocharged engine with a six-speed manual transmission will come later and premiere in the Adam.
The Adam will be offered in three trim levels - Jam, Glam and Slam.
Inside, Opel is pushing the car's technology. The infotainment system synchs with owners' iOS and Android devices. The infotainment screen is 7in wide and includes GPS, Bluetooth and USB. It also has an optional headliner with embedded LEDs. There will also be optional Advanced Park Assist that automatically parallel parks the car.

A year after unveiling the Adam Rocks concept Opel launches the production version of the mini-crossover that combines the open-roof driving pleasure and the versatility of a robust car.
The latest Adam is 3.74 meters in length, making it perfect for urban driving, and is equipped with a full sunroof. The bodywork has all-around protections and the suspension is 15 mm higher. Opel's designers developed new decorative elements and chose new fabrics specifically for the seats of the new variant. The trapezoidal grille is still traversed by the chrome bar that holds the Opel logo, but is now integrated with the protective pieces. The daytime running lights and LED rear optical groups are another feature of the new Adam Rocks. The lower protection section of the front and rear bumpers, as well as the chrome exhaust exit complete the look of the city mini-crossover.
The full sunroof Swing Top, made of fabric, is part of the standard equipment. It has an electric command and opens up to the C-pillars, in just five seconds. This creates a large opening roof without damaging the features of the rigid bodywork or car functionality.
In addition to many innovations, such as the automatic parking system Park Assist, the new Adam Rocks also receives the new generation of IntelliLink infotainment.
Opel created two unique environments for the Adam Rocks cabin, with new applications on the dashboard and door panels and new fabrics in the seats. One of the environments is dominated by brown honey color, including the linings on the leather steering wheel and handles of the lever box and handbrake. The other cabin is decorated in black, lined with dark brown and blue stitching in the seats.
New 1.0 Turbo engine with direct injection, with 90 and 115hp
The Adam Rocks is equipped with the brand new 1.0 Turbo three-cylinder that belongs to the latest generation of Opel powertrains. The 1.0 Turbo ECOTEC has two versions, with power levels of 90 and 115hp. The average fuel consumption stands at 4.3 l/100 km. The new engine sits at the top of the range above the Adam 1.2 70hp/115Nm and 1.4 100hp/130Nm. Both versions of the 1.0 Turbo are combined with a new six-speed gearbox, which focus on efficiency and smooth, accurate and fast command.

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.
