Opel Corsa Moon

The Opel Corsa Moon was a design study based on the Opel Corsa B, built without any intention of series production. It was presented in 1997 on the Canary Islands during the launch of the facelifted Corsa. It was conceived purely as a show car, meant to show the press how advanced the model range was. For that purpose it received futuristic add-ons, among them two satellite dishes, solar cells and the characteristic moon tyres made of steel mesh, which were the main eye-catcher. It also had widened wheel arches and an additional bumper of steel tube. Inside, everything stayed as it was, including the normal upholstery of the Swing version in titanium-grey Circus fabric. The single car survives in good condition in the Opel factory collection in Rüsselsheim and is occasionally shown at exhibitions.
