Concept car que se verá en el Salón Ginebra 2013, y que será probado y validado este año para poder usarse en los rallyes a partir del año que viene http://www.worldcarfans.com/11302045...aded-to-geneva Nota de prensa, en inglés New Lifestyle Car ADAM Bound for International Rallying - Geneva world premiere of concept study in FIA-based R2 specification - ADAM is important part of Opel motorsport program - Development and homologation during 2013 - Admissible for all national championships in Europe Geneva/Rüsselsheim. Opel returned to motorsport with the ADAM “Cup“ in November 2012. At the Geneva Motor Show the brand now presents another star in the firmament: a new concept study of the recently introduced ADAM lifestyle car, built based on FIA R2 regulations. Its final development and homologation are planned during 2013. With the ADAM R2, Opel takes another step in its new motorsport strategy by offering a top-class vehicle for international customer rallying which will be eligible for every national championship in Europe. Chic, classy, eye-catching: this applies to the ADAM in general, as well as its R2 rally variant. Special body components from the sporty Opel OPC product line, quick release catches on the hood and tailgate, as well as under-ride guards front and rear, emphasize the sporty format of this athletic asphalt and gravel specialist. Its unique shell also harbors pure high-tech. The ADAM R2 is powered by a 1.6-liter ECOTEC 16V engine with variable camshaft phasing that develops around 185 hp and maximum torque of about 190 Nm in its competitive configuration. Power is transmitted through a Sadev sequential five-speed gearbox and a limited-slip differential with a multi-disc lock. The chassis set-up, including asphalt and gravel settings, guarantees maximum traction and dynamic handling. Excellent deceleration is provided by a braking system with a hydraulic ‘fly-off’ handbrake, Brembo 4-piston front brake calipers and braking pressure regulation for the rear axle. The R2’s cabin features all the attributes of a professional competition vehicle, and many details are already part of the specification to be homologated this year by FIA, the world motorsport association. Equipment includes: an integrated safety structure; SPARCO Competition racing seats compatible with the HANS driver safety system; a cockpit with an LCD gear indicator, control light and MONIT trip computer; a central control panel; a map reading light and an electric fire extinguisher. The ultra-compact R2 is based on the new ADAM Cup variant. This already marks the first step in Opel’s new, European-focused program to promote customer rallying, which will enable talented young drivers to gradually progress to the pinnacle of European competition. From the 2013 season, up to 40 ADAM Cup vehicles will compete for brand trophies in Germany and France. In the German ADAC OPEL RALLYE CUP, the winner of a special “Rallye Junior” rating (for drivers up to 27 years of age) will advance into the R2 class, with special support in the next season from Opel and the ADAC. |

Eso no lo se, pero si quieren meterse con el Astra OPC y el Adam tambien en circuitos, complicado lo veo ![]() Edito: el Adam será solo para rallyes, aún asi, aunque sean copas monomarcas europeas, veo complicado irse al WRC. Ninguno de los 2 coches valen para ello, con lo que tendrian que desarrollar la siguiente generación de Corsa para ello, y ya son 3 coches para cometición, con lo que lo dudo... |

Por lo general cuando una marca saca una preparación ya hecha de fábrica para un modelo suele organizar una Copa,es una forma de promocionar tanto la marca como el modelo,además de hacer negocio. Ejemplos: Copa clio R3,Copa Twingo R2,etc,etc... |
