Opel builds cars with a unique claim:
Best performance - best agility - with the highest degree of safety. That’s why we not only guarantee our engineers and test drivers ideal conditions for testing technologies, test vehicles and prototypes. We also put the Opel Test Center itself to the test again and again.
Everyone has their own driving style or even expectations for a car. It is our goal to exceed every expectation. We want to inspire and enthuse.
Many of our certified innovations set global standards. On our over 80 km test track at the Opel Test Center we put our goals and your expectations to the test: More fun. More safety.
