GT6 Opel Vectra 3.2 V6 2003

A 2003 Opel Vectra 3.2 V6 in my GT Garage.


And why not? It won the Schwarzwald League in National A for me, despite being not the most obvious choice of a car.


For Opel, the 2003 Vectra marked a rebirth of the marque with which it tried to gain a foothold in the executive car segment.


As the GT6 info file notes, the 2003 Opel Vectra could not boast of something called "sexiness" or enthusiast appeal but the high level of basic performance was guaranteed.


My brother had a 2003 Vectra since replaced several times over. The only major breakdown was when the electric power steering broke, I think.





I had to upgrade it some -- a lot in fact. The first and last -- Cape Ring and Nuerburgring were pretty easy to win but in London it was tough beating an M3.

Cape Ring South








Nuerburgring









At Nuerburgring, this Opel Vectra achieved the top speed of 275 km/h.
