In the end of the '60's, Opel decided to make a car, what is sporty but cheap, so not just the rich people can buy it. This was the Manta, releashed in 1970
The most popular was the GT/E series, it had a 1,9 litre engine with 105 horsepower. This may sound funny, but in theese years if a car could go more than 160 km/h, it was a sportscar!
The Irmscher company made some tuning kits, theese made the Manta look more sporty
In the summer of '75 they refreshed the model, it was the Manta-B.
This car had also a rally version, it was the Manta 400.
Here's a TV commercial from the early years:
