ADAM S makes its long awaited entry!

adamOpel has introduced the range topping ADAM S to South Africa with only 50 units allocated to our market.

The ADAM S completes the ADAM line-up with the newcomer positioned to attract young buyers who seek a compact and agile car with an overtly performance oriented personality.

The ADAM S available in three distinctive ‘Twisted’ colour combos: Saturday White Fever, Shiny Rock and Red ‘n’ Roll, is equipped with Stop/Start Eco setting.

The first two have contrasting red roof and pillars, while the latter has a slate grey upper section. The 18-inch ‘Propeller’ wheels have a distinctive five spoke design, with red brake callipers cadam1learly visible.

For the first time in an ADAM, the exhaust tip – in this instance a chromed, oval one – can be readily seen.

With 110kW and 220Nm from its turbocharged 1,4 litre Ecotec engine, and an unladen mass of 1 178 kilograms, the ADAM S delivers specific output exceeding 74 kW / litre.

It was unveiled to the press in Port Elizabeth today.

“The Opel ADAM S has been designed and engineered for people who want to enjoy a sporty driving experience in a car with a unique and individual look. To achieve this Opel engineers came up with a powertrain that would give its best across a broad rev range.

With the strong inherent torque characteristics – maximum torque in on tap from 3 000 rpm – and the use of a six-speed gearbox, the driver will always enjoy instant response,” says Brian Olson, Vice President Vehicle Sales and
Marketing at GMSA.

Advanced Park Assist, Side Blind Spot Alert, Intellilink and Siri Eyes Free are just some of the features that position the Adam as South Africa’s most technologically-advanced small car – and they are all standard on the new S derivative.

The apertures for the fitment of a full racing harness are a feature of the backrest, which is of a one-piece design for maximum rigidity and upper body support.

Recaro is proudly embossed in the Moroccana section of the backrest.

It reaches 100 km/h in 8.5 seconds and will continue on to 210 km/h. But it also impresses with great elasticity: it makes the transition for 80 to 120 km/h in 5th gear in just 7.9 seconds.adam3

It is available immediately with a price of R 330 000.00

Good price indeed for first time car owners!
