In 1967 the Opel Commodore A, based on the Opel Rekord C, came out. Not least due to the Opel success in motor racing demand quickly arose for a more powerful and sporty version of this car at the high end of the medium range. Opel reacted with the top model GS/E, which came on the market in 1970, had electronic fuel injection and a capacity of 150 bhp. The roomy interior, that offered ample space for four people with appropriate leg-room, also had remarkably comfortable wide seats. The GS/E was in no way a simple family car but it had the capability. The hardtop coupé without B pillar and with matt black bonnet and black vinyl roof already had the aggressive appearance of the "first German muscle cars". The inconspicuous spoiler in front of the front wheels was not just a decoration, but an essential accessory required to generate the necessary downforce at 200 km/h. But it was primarily the powerful straight six engine that made the Opel into a real sports car. From 4000 rpm, the 2.5 litre engine showed what was hidden under the bonnet, including the required sound shift. It accelerated the car from 0 to 100 in 9.5 seconds and - even more importantly - had an impressive sprint up. The rigid rear axle demanded a quick countersteer on heavy curves, a feature that pleased the sports sports enthusiasts among the clientele as much as the opulent appearance of the car.
