DYNAMIC GOOD LOOKS, VERSATILITY, CONVENIENCE AND IN-CAR COMMUNICATIONS
Signum2 is the name Opel has given to the innovative concept car that will be shown to the public for the first time at the Frankfurt International Motor Show (IAA) from September 13 - 23, 2001. The name underlines its relationship with the Signum prototype first seen at the Geneva Motor Show in 1997. The goal for the Opel team developing the 4.64-meter long Signum2 was to achieve a synthesis of good looks, comfort, convenience and versatility. The front wheel drive Signum2 combines the elegant lines of a coupé with the practicality of a station wagon and, with a number of surprising designs for the interior, underlines Opel's reputation as the leading European manufacturer of attractive, versatile vehicles. Carl-Peter Forster, Chairman and Managing Director of Adam Opel AG, says: "The Signum2 hints at the ideas and styling cues that will be seen on future Opel models."
The Signum2 embodies the new Opel brand character. With its stunning, progressive design, it radiates a high level of dynamism. The infotainment systems feature numerous high-tech functions and ergonomic controls, illustrating how Opel's experts envisage the future of in-car communications. An innovative seating concept and a movable storage box system are just two examples of the car's outstanding versatility. At the push of a button, the rear seat cushion and backs can be folded up to the height of the belt-line, creating a level surface and an even larger trunk. From the outside, the Signum2 then looks like a two-seater, while luggage can be stowed out of sight under the seats where it cannot endanger the occupants under heavy braking. A glass panorama roof extending to the windscreen ensures a spacious, airy feeling in the interior. An on-board espresso machine has been ingeniously integrated into one of the storage boxes to provide freshly brewed coffee during the journey.
